Under Assembly Bill 2347, tenants in California now have 10 business days to respond to eviction notices instead of just five, a vital change amid the housing crisis.
This law addresses significant hurdles faced by tenants, including legal aid deserts and complex legal processes, which often disadvantage renters who can't meet tight deadlines.
Advocates argue that this additional time could prevent many tenants from defaulting on eviction cases, which presently affects 40% of California tenants.
Despite the importance of tenant protections, this law has met resistance from some landlord groups concerned it may delay the eviction process and increase unpaid rent.
