Summary

The bill forces landlords to accept a "portable screening report" that costs no more than $45 and is no older than 45 days, and bans any extra fees for screening or applications. It also obligates landlords to provide renters a plain‑language, itemized disclosure of every document, fee, or condition needed to apply, before any part of the application is submitted. Violations trigger civil penalties, a right to cure, and possible action by the Attorney General.
