CA AB1399

Clarifies that punitive damages payments (up to 6 months' rent) for failing to offer withdrawn units to displaced tenants do not eliminate the owner's obligation to make the required offer.

Requires the withdrawal date for multi-unit accommodations to be the latest termination date among all tenants for purposes of calculating time periods under the Ellis Act, rather than individual unit withdrawal dates.

Expands notice requirements to tenants with extended tenancies (age 62+, disabled, or one-year residents) by requiring owners to notify the public entity of extended tenancy dates within specified timeframes.

Amends legislative intent language to explicitly prohibit owners from withdrawing less than all accommodations and from declining to make written rerental offers to tenants who occupied units at the time of withdrawal notice, with limited exceptions for owner-occupied units.

Preserves local land use authority, environmental regulations, and tenant eviction protections while permitting the Ellis Act's core allowance for landlords to exit the rental market.
