Summary

The bill lets a landlord charge a security deposit of up to two months' rent when a tenant runs or plans to run a family child‑care home in a single‑family rental. It also bars landlords from denying or unduly restricting such use, requires tenants to give 60‑day notice, provide registration and insurance proof, and may require liability coverage. Landlords are shielded from civil liability for the tenant’s child‑care activities.
