landlord tenant; settlement conferences

Summary

The bill mandates that any eviction action for nonpayment of rent or a material lease breach must include a court‑ordered settlement conference five days after the landlord serves the eviction notice. Both landlord and tenant must attend and bring the lease, rent notices, receipts, and any other relevant documents; if the landlord fails to appear the case is dismissed, and if the tenant fails to appear a default judgment is entered. If the parties do not reach an agreement, the case proceeds to an eviction hearing five business days after the conference.
