Tenancy: personal micromobility devices.
Summary
Existing law regulates the terms and conditions of residential tenancies. Among other things, existing law prohibits a landlord from prohibiting a tenant from posting or displaying specified political signs or displaying religious items, as specified. This bill would prohibit a landlord from prohibiting a tenant from owning personal micromobility devices or from storing and recharging up to one personal micromobility device in their dwelling unit for each person occupying the unit, subject to certain conditions and exceptions. The bill would define "personal micromobility device" for those purposes to mean a device that is powered by the physical exertion of the rider or an electric motor and is designed to transport one individual or one adult accompanied by up to 3 minors.
