Enacting the fair chance housing and homelessness reduction act to limit the use of past evictions and rental arrears to deny applicants from renting a home.

Summary

The Fair Chance Housing and Homelessness Reduction Act would stop landlords from denying or changing rental agreements based on eviction or rent‑arrears information that is more than three years old. It also forces consumer reporting agencies to contact renters, give them a chance to explain any adverse tenant history, and only furnish reports that include that explanation. Violations would be treated as deceptive practices under the state consumer‑protection law.
