California AB1050 allows modification or removal of certain restrictive covenants on housing developments.

California AB1050 amends the Civil Code to allow the modification or removal of restrictive covenants that limit residential uses, number, size, or location of residences, or the number of persons or families on a property. Owners of housing developments can submit a modification document to the county recorder, who must then consult with county counsel to determine if the original covenant restricts the property in a prohibited manner. If approved, the modification document can be recorded, making the original restrictive covenant unenforceable.
