CA AB2485

Extends unlawful detainer provisions for illegal controlled substance activity to the County of Sacramento and City of Oakland (in addition to existing Los Angeles authorization) until January 1, 2019.

Requires courts to enter specified orders based on eviction grounds: dismiss if grounds not established, order eviction if established, or dismiss/stay eviction if tenant proves by clear and convincing evidence that immediate eviction would cause extreme hardship outweighing community benefit.

Mandates Sacramento and Oakland city attorneys and prosecutors to report detailed data annually to the California Research Bureau by January 20, including number of notices issued, tenant demographics, case outcomes, and information about defendants' subsequent activity and relocation.

Allows jurisdictions to file unlawful detainer actions only if they make good faith efforts to collect and timely report all required information to the California Research Bureau.

Takes effect immediately as an urgency statute and applies through January 1, 2019, unless a later statute extends the date.
