Summary

The bill would prohibit landlords and third‑party operators of smart‑access systems in multi‑unit buildings from gathering tenant data without written consent, limit the types of data they may collect, and require most data to be destroyed or anonymized within 90 days after a tenant moves out or access ends. It also restricts landlords from collecting detailed utility or internet usage information. The aim is to protect tenant privacy in buildings that use electronic entry systems.
