New York A04432 aims to prevent rental discrimination based on consumer credit history.

New York A04432 amends the executive law to prohibit landlords from refusing to rent or lease housing accommodations based on a person's consumer credit history. It also makes it illegal to falsely claim that a housing unit is unavailable when it is. The bill defines "consumer credit history" as an individual's creditworthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, or payment history, as indicated by a consumer credit report or credit score. This law applies to publicly-assisted housing accommodations and aims to prevent discrimination based on various protected characteristics.
