Bill would nix Escondido-like rental laws


Assembly bill AB 976 "would prohibit a city, county, or city and county from requiring a landlord to, among other things, compile, disclose, report, provide, or otherwise take any action regarding a tenant or a prospective tenant based on the immigration or citizenship status of that tenant".

"We need to follow our (federal) laws in terms of immigration. We also can't have every city with their own foreign policy. Realtors don't want to be turned into immigration agents," Calderon said.
