SB 1160:

This bill would require the collection and publication of eviction-related data at the ZIP Code level and is a significant concern for rental housing providers related to privacy, data security, administrative burden, and mishandling of eviction data and misinterpretation of its presentation.

Suggested talking points:

• Publishing raw eviction data without proper context, statistical standards, or interpretation risks misleading conclusions and poor policy decisions. The bill also fails to address critical issues around data standardization, accuracy, and cybersecurity across California's data systems.

• Beyond data quality, SB 1160 could disrupt the housing market. Publicly accessible eviction records may discourage housing providers from pursuing lawful evictions when needed, while also pushing them to apply stricter tenant screening which would ultimately reduce housing access for higher-risk renters.

• Finally, the bill places costly new administrative obligations on courts already strained by staffing shortages and backlogs, with no dedicated funding provided, further taking resources away from core judicial functions.
