The law doubles the time tenants have to respond after receiving an eviction notice from five business days to ten. Lawyers who work with renters say that what may seem like a minor procedural change could make a big difference in allowing people to stay in their homes. RELATED: Landlords are using AI to raise rents; California cities are leading the pushback Tenants who are served an eviction notice and don’t respond in writing within the legal timeframe can lose their case by default, potentially incurring financial penalties and a black mark on their record that affects their future ability to obtain housing. That’s true even if a tenant has a valid legal defense – for example, if their landlord increased the rent above state limits or refused to fix problems like lack of heat or broken door locks. About 40% of California tenants lose their cases this way, researchers have estimated . “Five days has never been enough for a tenant to find legal assistance and try to decipher the complaint filed against them, find out what kind of defenses they have, fill out the paperwork and make it to court,” Lorraine López, a senior attorney with the Western Center on Law and Poverty, told CalMatters earlier this fall.

San Francisco guarantees legal representation to any tenant facing eviction, and in other cities like Oakland and Los Angeles, robust networks of pro-bono lawyers help renters file responses. But Californians who live in so-called “legal deserts” – often in rural areas – must travel many miles to meet with an attorney. Tenants with lawyers are less likely to get locked out of their homes , some studies have shown – though fewer than 5% of renters in eviction cases nationwide have legal help , compared with more than 80% of landlords, the National Coalition for a Civil Right to Counsel estimates. Authored by Assemblymember Ash Kalra , a San Jose Democrat, the new law also offers something for landlords, who generally like eviction cases to move faster. It limits the amount of time tenant lawyers can take to file certain motions alleging errors in a landlord’s complaint. Landlord representatives said lawyers would use those motions to drag out cases unnecessarily. “The longer these things take, the more expensive it is (for landlords) and the more rent is lost,” said Daniel Bornstein, an attorney who represents property owners.

News Boland, Konstas, Renshaw part of Prime Minister's XI squad to face India The side will be captained by New South Wales allrounder Jack Edwards for the day-night two-day fixture ESPNcricinfo staff 21-Nov-2024 • 58 mins ago Scott Boland will get some overs under his belt between the first and second Tests • Getty Images {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"ImageObject","contentUrl":"https://img1.hscicdn.com/image/upload/f_auto/lsci/db/PICTURES/CMS/389600/389601.4.jpg","caption":"Scott Boland will get some overs under his belt between the first and second Tests"} Scott Boland will play for the Prime Minister's XI in the two-day pink-ball fixture against India in Canberra in order to keep himself match ready should he be needed during the Test series. Sam Konstas , who played for Australia A against India A, will also feature alongside Matt Renshaw who was overlooked for that series despite being the reserve Test batter earlier this year. Jack Edwards , the New South Wales allrounder, will lead the team and is joined by state team-mate Ollie Davies for the game on November 30 and December 1. "The Prime Minister's XI match presents an opportunity for a highly talented squad to impress against a strong Indian team in their only pink-ball hit out prior to the second Test," national selector George Bailey said. "We are utilising the opportunity to maintain Scott Boland's match fitness in his preparations as part of the Test squad." Konstas is one of four members of the Australia Under-19 side that won the World Cup earlier this year who will be part of the PMs XI alongside quicks Mahli Beardman , Charlie Anderson and Aiden O'Connor. Beardman, the 19-year-old Western Australia fast bowler, was a shock addition to the tour of England in September and he has still only played one professional game. For Anderson, the call-up follows a hasty NSW debut earlier this season when he was a last-minute replacement for an ill Josh Hazlewood in the One-Day Cup match against Victoria where he claimed 3 for 37 and opened the bowling alongside Pat Cummins having only traveled to shadow the senior squad. The ACT are represented in the 14-player squad by pace-bowling allrounder Hanno Jacobs while local premier cricketers will support the PM's XI side throughout the game. Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said: "Taking on India, one of the best sides in world cricket featuring the likes of Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant, will be an amazing experience for the squad, particularly knowing that millions of fans around the globe will be watching the match." The match is expected to be Rohit Sharma's first of the tour after the India captained missed the Perth Test after the birth of his second child.

Some even expressed concerns about the safety and effectiveness of the treatments they received, leading to a growing distrust in the institution's credibility.
