NAIOP San Francisco Bay Area helps defeat SB 939


Filed under: Legislative News: California

We are pleased to report that SB 939 (Senator Wiener) did NOT pass the Senate Appropriations Committee today, which means the bill will no longer move forward. NAIOP took a strong and active position in opposition to this bill, which would have been highly detrimental to commercial landlords and set a dangerous precedent for the status of existing lease agreements in the state.

Press Release: NAIOP SF Bay Area and Silicon Valley Chapters Oppose California Senate Bill 939


Filed under: Legislative News: California

NAIOP, a premier commercial real estate development and owners association, announced its opposition to California Senate Bill 939.  SB 939 is pending before the state legislature and threatens to replace a loss in business revenue problem with a statewide commercial mortgage crisis.  If passed, SB 939 would, on a statewide basis, give commercial tenants a unilateral termination right, with no future obligations, including by their third-party guarantors, upending previously reliable contractual obligations. In doing this, it sets a dangerous precedent, undermining the validity of existing, mutually negotiated lease agreements in the state.
