What’s in it

This bill relates to landlord remedies and procedures relating to failure to timely pay rent and forcible entry and detainer. Current law caps late fees on rental agreements in which rent is greater than $700 per month at $20 per day and $100 per month. The bill allows a rental agreement to provide for late fees not to exceed percent of the rent per day and percent of the rent per month when rent exceeds $1,400 per month. The bill also makes a procedural change relating to jurisdiction in actions for forcible entry and detainer.

Changed since by amendments S-3245, S-3156; see Amendments.
