Things You Should Know About AB1513

WAIT,
COPS CAN LEGALLY EVICT ME??

Yup, under the proposed Assembly Bill 1513

Under current law:

• property owner has the ability to request removal of trespassers and law enforcement has the discretion to determine if probable cause exists to do so

• resident who is not determined to be a trespasser has the right to challenge any subsequent eviction

AB 1513:

• allows property owners to initiate an eviction of residential property by submitting a written declaration to the District Attorney

• makes such a removal mandatory thus depriving law enforcement of their discretion

•   deprives residents of their due process rights under state, local, and constitutional law to challenge an eviction prior to their removal from their home

WHICH MEANS:

• landlord files documents to remove you from your house

• landlord gives the order to the cops

• cops kick you out from your home without taking you to court (eviction procedure)
