Authorizes the district attorney to intervene in a proceeding brought by the owner of a premises upon which the tenant's occupancy is illegal

This bill (S 2609) authorizes district attorneys to automatically participate in certain eviction cases where a landlord sues to remove a tenant occupying premises illegally. It directly affects district attorneys, landlords initiating eviction proceedings, and tenants in cases involving illegal occupancy. The key provision adds a new rule to real property law, requiring landlords to notify the district attorney when filing such suits, who can then intervene by simply filing a notice with the court. This changes the process by giving DAs a formal role in these specific landlord-tenant disputes without needing court permission.
