Call Your Legislators to VOTE NO on SENATE BILL 567…TODAY, Before It’s Too Late!
Say No to Punitive, State Mandated Tenant Protections
Senate Bill 567 will soon be up for a vote on the Assembly Floor – the time to stop this bill from progressing onto the Governor’s desk for signature is NOW!
Senate Bill 567 (D-Wahab) significantly expands just cause eviction restrictions for “no-fault” evictions under state law. A “no fault” eviction is any eviction where the notice to terminate tenancy is not based on any alleged fault by the tenant.Senate Bill 567 places strict limitations on owner move-ins, tenancy terminations for major remodel, and Ellis Act evictions.
It also authorizes tenants and public agencies to file costly lawsuits against housing providers for supposed infractions. This proposed bill severely restricts your right to to request a tenant to vacate your rental property!!
Please help us! Senate Bill 567 will impose HORRENDOUS tenant protection and eviction restrictions on the State’s rental housing providers. If passed, Senate Bill 567 will:
Prohibits Owner Move-In / Occupancy: Prohibits “no-fault” evictions for owner’s or owner’s family move-in if tenant is disabled, over 60 or terminally ill. In some instances, disability or illness is impossible to verify. In addition, owners must move-in within 90-days, which limits your ability to remodel / upgrade the unit you intend to occupy, and you or your relative must live in the unit at least 12-months.
Prohibits Demolition or Substantial Remodel: Prohibits “no-fault” evictions to demolish or substantially remodel unless the work is necessary to comply with government code impacting a tenant’s health and safety. In addition, all government permits must be obtained in advance, and, in certain circumstances, housing providers must offer tenants an option to receive temporary relocation assistance and a right to return at the same rent. You may not be able to increase rent after spending thousands of dollars on required repairs and upgrades – how is that fair?!!
Restricts Use of the Ellis Act: If you “exit” the rental housing business under the Ellis Act for less than 5-years, you may be liable to your tenants for “to be determined” damages, and you would be obligated to offer your property for rent to your previous tenants at the same rental rate! The “Ellis Act” is a state law which says that landlords have the unconditional right to evict tenants to “go out of business.
TAKE ACTION NOW and DEMAND THAT the MEMBERS OF THE STATE assembly TO VOTE no on Senate Bill 567.
Senate Bill 567 is the wrong approach for solving our state’s housing supply problems and will only discourage developers and housing providers from taking risks on investing in badly needed rental housing in California.

California has the lowest eviction rates among the country’s 10 largest states. We’re in the housing business, not the eviction business. Evictions are costly and time-consuming and always are a last resort for housing providers.
Senate Bill 567 poses major barriers for housing providers seeking to remodel and enhance their properties for residents. With rising labor and materials costs,
Senate Bill 567’s added mandates could force property owners to hold off or forgo improvements altogether.
If Senate Bill 567 passes, property owners will have limited opportunities to make required upgrades and repairs of California’s aging housing stock.
Senate Bill 567’s severe restrictions on property owners’ rights to repossess and occupy their rental units or to put their properties up for sale are unreasonable heading into a period of economic recession.
Senate Bill 567’s impacts will only hurt independent, small “mom-and-pop" property owners who may need assistance making ends meet and require to be housed themselves within their rental property.
