Footnote 3:As GCEL was passed as part of broader 2024 budget bill, it lacks a sponsor's memorandum or other introductory statements of legislative intent that might normally aid in interpreting the statute. To the extent the statute draws heavily on earlier versions of the Good Cause statute sponsored by Senator Salazar, it is worth noting that these proposed bills include a statement of intent expressing a broad desire to limit non-renewal evictions wherever possible. For instance, the legislative justification for 2023-S305 states: "Landlords across the state displace tenants in order to gain higher profits. The de facto evictions happen, among other ways, via non-renewal of their leases. These non-renewals displace individuals and families in order for owners to rent out their units to higher income tenants."
