Some housing bills I'd like to see Gavin Newsom
sign include:
#SB4 affordable housing on religious/college land
#AB309 & #SB555 mixed income housing
#SB423 faster approvals for housing
#SB567 enforcing tenant protections
#AB1033 allow cities to allow ADUs to be sold separately

In addition to #SB567 other key bills in this year's fair housing/tenant protection package include:
#AB12 cap on deposits
#AB1218 replacement for demo'd units
#AB1418 bans racist crime-free housing laws
#AB1620 allows disabled tenant to switch units, keep rent control

On the production side, in addition to SB4, SB423, and AB1033, some other important bills include
#AB835 bldg code study for point-access blocks
#AB976 continues to allow ADUs on rental property
#AB1287 incentives for moderate income housing
#AB1633 stops CEQA delays

With that said, of all the remaining 60+ bills that the Legislature has passed, all of them are going to make positive contributions to solving California's housing crisis. Let's get them all signed. 🏡🏡

To address the issue of landlords filing evictions right before a long weekend to deny tenants the ability to find a lawyer, State Senator Ben Allen's #SB863 would change the 3-day eviction notice to 7 days.

Some cities have "crime-free housing" ordinances that require landlords to evict tenants who have been arrested, & sometimes their whole family. #AB1418 from Tina McKinnor would limit the most extreme of these ordinances.

#AB1218 from Assemblymember Lowenthal would extend and expand existing laws requiring relocation payments and replacement housing when an homes occupied by low income tenants or subject to rent caps / rent control is demolished.

To gather the data to better enforce state tenant protection laws, #SB395 from Aisha Wahab would require landlords to report evictions and rent increases to a central database.
