AI Summary

  • Prohibits court clerks from allowing public access to unlawful detainer case records involving residential property withdrawn from rent or lease, except to parties, attorneys, and those with court orders or good cause.

  • Requires property owners to include "Civil Action Described in Section 7060.6 of the Government Code" in the caption of complaints involving withdrawn residential property.

  • Restricts access to case records when a plaintiff or defendant applied for rental assistance under the state rental assistance program but judgment was entered before funding was received due to processing delays, if the action involves unpaid rent.

  • Mandates counties to submit monthly reports to the Legislature detailing total unlawful detainer judgments, judgments related to withdrawn property, and judgments where record access is restricted due to rental assistance delays.

  • Makes legislative findings that limiting public access to these records protects the reputation and housing access of tenants displaced through these proceedings.
