New California Law to Impact Multifamily Housing

CIC, a leading tenant screening provider to owners and property mangers of  multifamily housing, wants to keep you informed of California legislative changes that take effect in 2014 and 2015.

According to the California Apartment Association (CAA), several new laws will impact multifamily housing this year. This is one of the changes property managers and owners need to be aware of.

Assembly Bill No. 60 – After January 1, 2015, the Department of Motor Vehicles will issue driver licenses to individuals who do not provide a social security number on their application, but provide satisfactory proof that their presence in the U.S. is authorized under federal law.

The DMV may also issue a license to an individual if they are unable to show proof of legal residence. The applicant may sign an affidavit attesting they are ineligible for a SSN and unable to show proof of legal residence.

It is a violation of the law to discriminate against an individual because they hold or present the license. The bill also prohibits using the license to consider citizenship or immigration status on the basis of criminal investigation, arrest, or detention. Click here for more information about AB 60.

While this change is new to the DMV, the multifamily housing and tenant screening industries already familiar with disregarding an individual’s citizenship status. Assembly Bill No. 976, Section 1940.3 prohibits landlords and property management from inquiring about the citizenship status of a tenant, prospective tenant, occupant, or prospective occupant of a residential property.
