Landlord and tenant laws. Provides that in cases of a change in use, the 120-day termination notice shall not be waived, except in the case of a tenancy from month to month, which may be terminated by the landlord by giving the tenant 30 days' written notice prior to the next rent due date of the landlord's intention to terminate the tenancy. The bill, among other things, (i) allows an owner, manager, or operator of a commercial or residential building or campground to include water, sewer, electrical, natural gas, or other utilities in the amount of rent or additional rent as specified in the rental agreement or lease; (ii) prohibits a landlord from photocopying a U.S. government-issued identification under certain circumstances; (iii) allows a landlord and a tenant to agree in a rental agreement that the tenant pay prepaid rent; and (iv) allows a landlord or managing agent to enter into an agreement with a third-party service provider to maintain tenant records in electronic form or other medium. In such case, the landlord and managing agent shall not be liable in the event of a breach of the electronic data of such third-party service provider, except in the case of gross negligence or intentional act. The bill also provides that nothing shall be construed to require a landlord or managing agent to indemnify such third-party service provider. The bill contains technical amendments.
