Strengthens child-protection window guard law by requiring installation unless tenant opts out.

The bill amends the child-protection window guard law to require landlords to install window guards in apartments with children unless the tenant opts out in writing. Landlords must inspect window guards twice a year and inform tenants of their obligations and rights. The Department of Community Affairs must provide notice forms in English and Spanish. The bill also mandates window guard installation in common areas of multiple dwellings and common interest communities where children reside. It allows tenants to rescind their waiver of window guards by written notice.
