DESCRIPTION
This proposal would require landlords to enter the premises rented by a lessee only for a reasonable business purpose and after making a good faith effort to give the lessee reasonable notice under the circumstances of the intent to enter. Landlords who enter the premises when the lessee is not present and prior notice has not been given would be required to leave written disclosure of the entry in a conspicuous place in the premises. Violations could result in monetary penalties. This proposal would apply to written or oral leases entered in or renewed on or after January 1, 2001.
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.
