On page 10, line 19, after "criteria," insert "or the occupant fails to pay the security deposit and all other move-in charges under the lease,"

EFFECT:  Provides that with respect to an occupant that remains after a tenant has permanently vacated, if the occupant meets the screening/background/financial criteria he or she must pay the security deposit and all other move-in charges under the lease before the landlord is obligated to remove the vacating tenant from that lease and execute a new lease with the occupant. Allows the landlord to commence unlawful detainer against the occupant if he or she does not so pay.
