Landlords must disclose tenant screening criteria before accepting fees or deposits.
This bill requires landlords to provide prospective tenants with a written disclosure of the tenant screening criteria used to evaluate rental applications. The disclosure must include a detailed list of factors such as credit history, criminal background, income requirements, and references. The disclosure must be provided before the landlord accepts any payment, fee, or charge for processing the application. The applicant must sign an acknowledgment that they have reviewed the disclosure. If the landlord rejects the applicant without providing the disclosure, they must refund any fees paid.
