Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
7 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 3 mixed.
Owners pay enforcement and receivership costs
If the court finds the building’s conditions endanger health or safety, the owner must repay the city’s reasonable, actual enforcement costs, including inspections, investigations, and attorney fees. At a receiver’s request, the court can also order the owner to pay any unrecovered receivership costs. If the owner disobeys court orders, the court can hold them in civil contempt and apply chronic‑nuisance penalties or other legal penalties.
Cities and counties must order repairs
When a multifamily rental is unsafe, the city or county must notify the owner and order repairs. The notice is posted at the building and mailed to residents. It must list contact info, violations, deadlines, available remedies, and say the owner cannot retaliate. This speeds repairs and helps renters understand their rights.
Court path and receivership for unsafe rentals
If owners ignore repair orders, the city, county, a tenant nonprofit, or a tenant group can sue to have the building declared substandard and ask the court to appoint a receiver. Filers must give at least 30 days’ posted and mailed notice before filing and serve owners under court rules; judges may award attorney fees to the winner. Courts declare a property substandard only if it breaks habitability or building rules and the danger to health or safety is substantial; orders must list each problem and the fixes needed. Judges must consider whether the owner had a fair chance to fix issues and may appoint only qualified receivers; state receivership rules apply. These tools add to, not replace, existing landlord‑tenant rights, and cities and counties may also bring actions and seek penalties under local ordinances.
Court-appointed receivers run and fix buildings
When a court appoints a receiver, the receiver takes full control of the property. The receiver collects all rents and uses them to run the building and pay for court‑approved repairs, taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, and debt. The receiver must get a licensed contractor’s cost estimate and plan and seek court approval before contracting. With court approval, the receiver can borrow money and record a lien to fund repairs and tenant relocation; receiver pay follows foreclosure‑receiver rates. The receiver files monthly reports to the city. The court ends the receivership once fixes are done and a full accounting is filed; any unused funds can be returned, and the court may keep oversight for up to 18 months.
Landlords cannot collect rent during receivership
When a district court names a receiver for a substandard multifamily rental property, the owner and agents must step back. They cannot collect rent or interfere with the receiver. They also cannot sell or mortgage any interest in the property unless the court allows it. This protects tenants and lets the receiver focus on making repairs.
Relocation help and right to return
If you cannot safely live in your unit, the owner must pay relocation benefits. These cover moving, storage, packing, transport, insurance, reasonable replacement for damaged items, and disconnect/reconnect costs. The owner must also pay the difference between your rent and HUD fair‑market rent for a similar unit for up to 120 days. The court sets your move date, and benefits are paid when you move; you must share your new address within 5 days. You get the first chance to move back into the repaired unit, with 10 days to accept by certified mail. Tenants who substantially caused the problem get no relocation benefits, and if standard benefits are not possible, the court may order other fair relief. The city must notify tenants when a court issues a substandard‑property order.
Nonprofit receivers can seek repair grants
If a court names a nonprofit or community development group as the receiver, it can apply for grants. These grants help pay to fix substandard multifamily rental properties. This adds another funding path to speed needed repairs.
