An Act relative to the use of credit reporting for rent-subsidized tenants

Summary

The bill bars landlords from using consumer credit reports when a renter receives a government rent subsidy, unless the landlord gets written consent and follows strict disclosure rules. It forces landlords to rely on non‑credit evidence—like rent payment history or income verification—to decide eligibility, and it protects subsidized tenants from retaliation and unfair practices.
