AB 2216, as introduced, Haney. Tenancy: common household pets.

Existing law regulates the terms and conditions of residential tenancies. Existing law prohibits a landlord from, among other things, preventing a tenant from posting or displaying political signs, subject to specified exceptions.

Existing law, for purposes of specified housing development provisions, defines a common household pet as a domesticated animal, including a dog or cat, that is commonly kept in the home for pleasure rather than for commercial purposes.
