Enacts the "housing transparency act" to establish a statewide rental unit compliance registry for covered buildings.

The "housing transparency act" requires the Division of Housing and Community Renewal to create and maintain a statewide registry for rental units in covered buildings. Owners must register annually, providing details such as building address, unit count, occupancy status, and compliance certifications. Tenants can voluntarily report occupancy information. The act aims to improve transparency, ensure compliance with housing codes, and protect tenant privacy. It phases in requirements over several years, starting with larger buildings and eventually applying to all covered buildings.
