MODERATE
The bill was amended to clarify which agencies are responsible for drafting tenant rights notices in supportive housing, expanded the definition of supportive housing to include transitional housing, and added requirements for landlords to provide tenant rights notices during eviction proceedings. These changes aim to improve tenant awareness of their rights and ensure consistent information delivery across more housing types.
Scope change
The bill now applies to transitional housing in addition to permanent supportive housing, and clarifies that the Office of Mental Health coordinates with other agencies rather than all agencies independently drafting notices.
REQUIREMENT

Changed supervising agencies from all state and local agencies holding contracts to the Office of Mental Health coordinating with other agencies to draft the notice.

Added requirement for landlords and supervising agencies to provide tenant rights notices during eviction proceedings, termination notices, and assistance termination notifications.

Modified eviction notice requirements to specify when court proceedings are required and added information about special proceedings for unlawful evictions.

Updated housing maintenance code information to specify reporting violations to both local housing agencies and building owners.

Changed family occupancy rights notice from 'additional occupants' to 'live with family and/or one additional occupant'.

DEFINITION

Added new definition for 'supportive housing tenant' to include tenants in apartments leased by non-governmental agencies under supportive housing contracts.

Expanded 'supportive housing' definition to include transitional housing in addition to affordable permanent housing.
