SPOSF ACTION ALERT: Email Assemblyperson Ma and Senator Yee asking them to oppose State Assembly Bill (AB 934)
ACTION ALERT
March 18, 2011
San Francisco Small Property Owner
Please write to Assemblyperson Fiona Ma (D-12) and Senator Leland Yee (D-8) asking them to oppose State Assembly Bill (AB 934) authored by Assemblyman Mike Feuer of Los Angeles that would allow a tenant to sue a rental property owner for libel or slander based on the statements made in an unlawful detainer action. Current state law – known as litigation privilege - protects property owners from these types of claims. The negative impacts of this proposal are many including that a property owner could be sued by a tenant for statements made in legally required pre-litigation documents (3 Day Notices, for example), before that litigation is even resolved.
