AB 2469 It would have created a statewide rental registry mandating the collection, management and submission of data including, the address and owners of a rental property, the number and type of rooms in the rental property, and information related to the payments collected and the duration of tenancies when a lease is initiated, altered, or terminated to the California Department of Housing and Community Development every year or face the consequences of weakening their ability to evict even tenants who were committing crimes or damaging property. But the Santa Monica Rent Control Board has recommended that the City Council place on the November 2022 ballot a Rent Registry measure that would apply in the city.

AND
AB 2710 Under Kalra’s bill, rental owners would have been prohibited from putting their properties up for sale — whether they be apartments or a single-family rental — until they’ve given advance notice to “qualified entities,” such as certain tenant organizations, community land trusts, and affordable housing nonprofits. The notified groups would then have had first right to purchase the property and receive excessive time — nearly one year — to secure financing.
