Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Which buildings are covered and who can sue

A covered premises means more than 50 units on one parcel in counties with 100,000 or more people. In smaller counties, it means more than 30 units on one parcel. A dwelling unit key includes physical keys, cards, and access codes. Banks and licensed real estate brokers and salespeople are not treated as landlords under this section. If a landlord of a covered premises breaks these rules, an aggrieved person or a district attorney may sue. Courts can order fixes, award actual damages, and require the landlord to pay reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

Key security rules for big rentals

Landlords of a covered premises must have written rules for storing, giving out, and taking back unit keys. The rules must cover security and, if used, how to use and turn off electronic keys or access codes. The landlord must keep a log at the property showing when each unit key is issued and returned. The landlord must also keep the written key rules on site. These steps improve tracking and safety for renters.

Background checks for workers with unit keys

Landlords of a covered premises must require a criminal background check for job applicants who would handle any dwelling unit key. This check is a condition of employment for those roles. The law does not set one statewide pass or fail rule. The goal is to protect renters by screening workers who can access homes.
