Summary of Legislation
The bill modifies requirements for tenant screening reports used in the rental application
process. Specifically, the bill
prohibits the inclusion of credit histories for reports concerning tenants seeking to rent with
the assistance of housing subsidies;
clarifies the definition of adverse credit event to include past due delinquent rent payments
and collections; and
removes a requirement that reports received by landlords from tenants be made directly
available by reporting agencies.
Assessment of No Fiscal Impact
The changes under the bill to tenant screening reports are not expected to impact state or local
government revenue and expenditures, as these reports impact private parties and reports are
not administered by state or local government agencies. Thus, this bill is assessed as having no
fiscal impact.
Effective Date
The bill takes effect 90 days following adjournment of the General Assembly sine die, assuming
no referendum petition is filed, and applies to rental applications submitted on or after this date.
