Title
Evictions, law enforcement role, notices to tenants
Description

Existing law does not require tenants who are being evicted to be informed about the disposition of personal property remaining on the premises after the eviction. In addition, existing law does not set out a sheriff's or constable's duties during the execution of a writ of possession.

This bill would require notice be provided to a tenant during the eviction process regarding personal property left behind.

This bill would provide civil immunity for landlords and officers for damage to a tenant's personal property while executing a writ of possession.

This bill would also make nonsubstantive, technical revisions to update the existing code language to current style.
