A2518

Establishes criteria to distinguish between residential tenants and transient guests in hotels or motels.

This bill creates a distinction between residential tenants and transient guests in hotels or motels to determine permitted removal actions. It outlines a multi-factor test, including the occupant's intent to stay long-term, use of personal linens, and whether the hotel or motel is their primary residence. If these factors are met, the occupant is considered a tenant, subject to residential eviction process restrictions. The bill also specifies conditions under which an occupant is not considered a tenant, such as if they have not provided necessary registration information.
