| Summary: The Zenovich-Moscone-Chacon Housing and Home Finance Act prohibits “affordable rent” for certain rental housing developments that receive assistance on or after January 1, 1991, from exceeding a specified percentage based on the area median income adjusted for family size appropriate for the unit and whether the household is an acutely low income household, extremely low income household, very low income household, lower income household, or moderate-income household. Current law defines “area median income,” “adjustments for family size appropriate to the unit,” and “moderate-income household” for these purposes. This bill would, for an above-described rental housing development that dedicates 80% of units to lower income households, as specified, prohibit affordable rent from exceeding the rent prescribed by deed restrictions or regulatory agreements pursuant to the terms of public financing or public financial assistance for the rental housing development, if the rental housing development receives specified awards on or after January 1, 2025. The bill would also modify the above-described definitions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Summary: Existing law establishes the State Department of Social Services and sets forth its powers and duties, including, but not limited to, the licensing and administration of residential care facilities for the elderly. Current law authorizes any person to request an investigation of a residential care facility for the elderly by making a complaint to the department, as specified. Current law requires the department to make a preliminary review, except as specified, and make an onsite inspection within 10 days of receiving the complaint unless the visit would adversely affect the investigation, as specified. Current law requires the department, upon receipt of a complaint, to make a good faith effort to contact and interview the complainant of the department’s proposed course of action and relevant deadline for the department to complete the investigation. Current law requires the department, within 10 days of completing that investigation, to notify the complainant of the department’s determination as a result of the investigation. This bill would instead authorize any person to file a complaint with the department against a residential care facility for the elderly. The bill would require the department to conduct an onsite investigation within one business day of receipt of the complaint if the complaint involves a threat of imminent danger of death or serious harm. The bill would require the department to inform the complainant within 10 calendar days of receipt of the complaint if the department determines that an investigation is not warranted and the reason for that determination. The bill would require the department, prior to conducting an onsite investigation, to send a notification to the complainant notifying them of, among other things, the nature of the allegations to be investigated and the relevant deadline for the department to complete the investigation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

A violation of the act would be a crime and subject to civil penalties. By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| Summary: Existing law requires a landlord to change the locks of a protected tenant's dwelling unit upon the protected tenant's written request not later than 24 hours after the protected tenant gives the landlord a copy of a court order or police report that restrains a person who is not a tenant of the same dwelling unit as the protected tenant from contact with the protected tenant. Existing law permits the protected tenant to change the locks if the landlord fails to do so within 24 hours, as provided. For these purposes, existing law defines "protected tenant" as a tenant who has obtained a court order, as defined, or a police report showing that the tenant or the tenant's household member is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, as specified. This bill would repeal, recast, and revise these provisions to apply when a person is alleged to have committed abuse or violence against an eligible tenant or the immediate family or household member of an eligible tenant, and the person is not a tenant of the same dwelling unit as the eligible tenant. The bill would define "eligible tenant" for these purposes as either a tenant who is a victim of abuse or violence, as defined, or a tenant whose immediate family member or household member is a victim of abuse or violence. The bill would require a landlord to, at the landlord's expense and upon the eligible tenant's written request, change the locks of an eligible tenant's dwelling unit not later than 24 hours after the eligible tenant gives the landlord specified documentation. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
