DESCRIPTION

This proposal would require landlords to give reasonable notice to tenants prior to entering their premises. Entry would be for reasonable business purposes only.

This proposal would apply to written or oral leases entered into after December 31, 1999.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space. The proposal would not affect Total State Revenues.
