Provides criteria for determining whether an individual is a transient occupant
This bill establishes specific criteria for courts to determine if someone living in a hotel or rooming house is a "transient occupant" rather than a tenant. To make this determination, judges will evaluate the totality of circumstances, such as whether the person has a primary residence elsewhere, maintains official records like voter registration, or is there for temporary lodging. The legislation also clarifies that a "tenant" does not include a squatter, who is defined as someone entering property without permission. By defining these categories, the bill aims to clarify when a landlord-tenant relationship exists and when special legal proceedings are required for eviction.
