HB5528

Illinois HB5528 requires landlords to obtain written tenant consent before reporting rental payment history to credit bureaus.

Illinois HB5528 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act to regulate how landlords report tenants' rental payment histories. It prohibits landlords from automatically reporting tenants' rental payment histories to rent reporters or credit bureaus without written consent. Additionally, landlords cannot propose a credit building agreement to tenants until after the tenant has signed a residential lease agreement. This bill aims to protect tenants' privacy and ensure they have control over their rental information.
