What’s Left as Session Winds to a Close
As the 2009-10 legislative session heads toward its August 31 conclusion, a few important housing issues remain. AB 602 (Feuer), restoring the statute of limitations in housing element challenges, AB 454 (Lowenthal), which would extend the state’s affordable housing preservation law, and AB 1149 (Corbett), protecting tenants in foreclosures, remain high on the agenda of housing advocates. Just before the break, renters’ rights and mobilehome advocates breathed a collective sigh of relief as AB 761 (Calderon) was halted in Senate Judiciary. The bill would have imposed vacancy decontrol on spaces when a mobilehome is sold, erasing the equity of low-income homeowners.
