What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, generally, if a leased property is damaged or has a condition

that is hazardous to the health or safety of the tenant, the tenant is entitled to abate

rent to the extent that the tenant is deprived of the full normal use of the leased

property. This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer

Protection to promulgate rules that specify items for which a tenant may be entitled

to rent abatement and the amount of abatement a tenant would be entitled to for each

item.
