We encourage you to share your personal story and these key concerns with your legislator(s) either via phone or email…or both:

Longer delays increase financial hardship on all housing providers and ultimately increase the cost of housing – Extending the notice period by nearly five-times will further delay an already lengthy and costly eviction process, which can take 4–6 months and cost property owners tens of thousands of dollars. Further payment delays increase the risk of non-payment, costs housing providers more, and ultimately leads to higher housing costs for renters.

Unfair burden is placed on housing providers, especially independent, small owners – Many “mom-and-pop” housing providers rely on timely rent to cover mortgage payments and rising costs such as property insurance, supplies and maintenance. SB 436 imposes undue financial hardship and financial insecurity. Many small owners live month-to-month and are highly dependent on timely rent payments.

Delays in addressing nuisance or illegal activity – Prolonging action limits a housing provider’s ability to respond to serious lease violations, impacting the safety and well-being of other residents.

Need to balance in regulations – California’s rental housing providers need balanced, fair regulations—not additional barriers that make it harder to operate and provide quality housing. Housing providers need to be given a chance to survive.
