Full Text of § 568.3
Plain-English Summary
Section 568.2 puts the burden on the receiver to flag housing problems. Section 568.3 gives the people affected by those problems a way in of their own. A tenant living in receivership property, a tenant association or organization, or any enforcement agency -- federal, state, or local -- can file a motion asking the court for further instructions or orders.
Two situations trigger that right. The first is substandard conditions as defined in Health and Safety Code § 17920.3 or § 17920.10 -- the same standard § 568.2 uses. The second is broader: any dispute or controversy over the receiver's powers or duties that affects a tenant or the public, even one that doesn't involve a housing-code violation at all.
This section works alongside § 568.2 rather than duplicating it. Where § 568.2 is a reporting duty the receiver owes the court, § 568.3 is an access point tenants and regulators can use directly, without waiting for the receiver to raise the issue.
