Description

The document provides an overview of California relationship laws regarding tenants in properties facing foreclosure. Key features highlight new state laws that protect tenants from utility shutoffs by allowing them to assume utility accounts without unpaid bills from their landlords. Additionally, local ordinances have been enacted in various cities, mandating 'just cause' for eviction during foreclosure to safeguard tenants’ rights. This includes relocation assistance requirements in cities like Los Angeles, where tenants are entitled to substantial compensation depending on their duration of residence. Specifically, Los Angeles extends eviction protections to all rental units and sets forth relocation assistance payments based on tenant eligibility. The document also discusses recent legislation concerning tenant eviction records to protect individuals from credit damage when evicted due to foreclosure. Furthermore, protections under the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act enhance tenant rights, allowing them to remain in their homes throughout the lease term post-foreclosure. This information is essential for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants navigating California's complex tenant laws, especially when advising clients facing foreclosure or considering eviction actions.
