Providing that under rental agreements governed by the residential landlord tenant act, a landlord is required to count certain income when considering a tenant or prospective tenant's qualifications for housing, providing for the sealing and expungement of court records in eviction actions related to such rental agreements and requiring mediation in such eviction cases unless the court finds that mediation would not aid the parties materially.

Summary

The bill would force landlords to consider any legal source of income—except Section 8 housing vouchers—when deciding if a tenant qualifies for rental housing. It also automatically seals eviction court files, limits who can see them, and requires most eviction cases to go through mediation unless a judge finds it unnecessary. Violations would be treated as deceptive practices under the state consumer protection act.
