Introduced by: G. Glenn Oder | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Landlord and tenant laws; rights and obligations of tenants. Requires the landlord to give the same notice to the tenant for the application of insecticides as is required for pesticide applications, and requires the tenant to prepare the dwelling unit for the application of insecticides or pesticides in accordance with any written instructions of the landlord, and if insects or pests are found to be present, to follow any written instructions of the landlord to eliminate the insects or pests following the application of insecticides or pesticides. The bill also (i) eliminates the landlord's obligation to pay all costs for mold remediation where the mold is a result of the tenant's failure to maintain the dwelling unit; (ii) eliminates a tenant's right to repair, replace, or clean a damaged item in the dwelling unit and instead allows the landlord to do so and charge all costs to the tenant, which costs shall be due on the next rent due date; (iii) changes the cap on liquidated damages penalties included in a rental agreement to 150% of the per diem of the monthly rent; and (iv) amends the schedule of interest rates on security deposits between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. The bill requires the landlord to provide notice to the tenant in the event of foreclosure under certain circumstances. The bill contains technical amendments.
