Provides criteria for determining whether an individual is a transient occupant

This bill establishes specific criteria for courts to determine if someone staying in a hotel or rooming house is a "transient occupant" rather than a tenant. Under the new rules, a person is considered a tenant if they have lived in the property for at least thirty consecutive days and lack a primary residence elsewhere, such as proof of another home, voter registration, or a local job. The legislation clarifies that individuals who enter property without permission, known as squatters, are not considered tenants. Consequently, landlords must follow special legal procedures to remove tenants or lawful occupants, while the definitions provided aim to distinguish between temporary guests and those with established residency.
