CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2019–2020 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill
No. 479

Introduced by Senator Atkins

February 21, 2019

An act to amend Section 1945.5 of the Civil Code, relating to tenancy. An act to amend Sections 375 and 582 of the Streets and Highways Code, relating to state highways.


LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 479, as amended, Atkins. Tenancy: automatic renewal or extension of lease. State highways: relinquishment: Routes 75 and 282.
Existing law vests the Department of Transportation with full possession and control of all state highways. Existing law describes the authorized routes in the state highway system and establishes a process for adoption of a highway on an authorized route by the California Transportation Commission. Existing law authorizes the commission to relinquish to local agencies state highway segments that have been deleted from the state highway system by legislative enactment or have been superseded by relocation, and in certain other cases.
This bill would authorize the commission to relinquish to the City of Coronado Route 282 and specified portions of Route 75, under certain conditions.

Under existing law, a lease for residential housing that provides for the automatic renewal or extension of the lease if the lessee remains in possession after the lease’s expiration, or if the lessee fails to give notice of intent not to renew or extend before expiration of the lease, is voidable by the party who did not prepare the lease, unless the renewal or extension provision, and a recital regarding the presence of this provision, appears in the agreement in at least 8-point boldface type, if the contract is printed.

This bill would require instead that the renewal or extension provision and the recital, as described above, appear in at least 12-point boldface type.

Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NOYES   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
