Rhode Island H7929 limits rent and fees for up to seven days after a resident's death or until personal property removal.

Rhode Island H7929 amends the Assisted Living Residence Licensing Act to prohibit facilities from enforcing a 30-day notice of vacancy policy when a resident dies. It limits the facility's ability to charge rent and fees for a maximum of seven days or until the resident's personal property is removed, whichever occurs first. If the room is occupied by a new resident before the seven-day period ends, rent and fees for the seven-day period are prorated and returned to the family, estate, or other responsible party. A violation of these provisions constitutes a deceptive trade practice.
