CA AB311

Reinstates provisions allowing tenants to temporarily house persons at risk of homelessness in their dwelling units with written landlord approval, effective until January 1, 2031

Expands the definition of "person at risk of homelessness" to include anyone displaced by a disaster in an area where the Governor has proclaimed a state of emergency

Permits tenants to also house common household pets belonging to the at-risk person, with landlords able to charge additional pet rent if authorized by the existing lease

Requires rent adjustments to revert to the original amount (plus lawful intervening increases) when the at-risk person moves out, and tenants remain fully liable for all rent payments

Declared an urgency statute taking effect immediately to address natural disasters and California's affordable housing crisis; does not apply to federal Section 8 or other federally funded housing
