AN ACT RELATING TO PROPERTY -- RESIDENTIAL LANDLORD AND TENANT ACT

Summary

The measure amends Rhode Island’s Residential Landlord‑Tenant Act to allow parties to request that an eviction case be sealed once the appeal period ends, provided the case was dismissed, settled, or the judgment satisfied. It also creates a limited‑purpose seal for people aged 18‑21 who were named in an eviction but had no rent liability. The changes aim to give former tenants a chance to remove eviction marks that could hinder housing opportunities.
