HB2597 amends Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act to introduce a new opt-in program for landlords with 15 or more residential units. Under this program, landlords must offer tenants the option to report their positive rent payments to consumer reporting agencies. This reporting aims to help tenants build credit. The bill mandates that landlords establish this program within six months of the act's effective date and provide written notice and a standard form to all tenants. Tenants can opt in at any time, and landlords may charge a fee for participation, which must be clearly disclosed.
