Summary

The legislation updates residential lease agreements by banning most application fees, capping security deposits at two months' rent, and tightening notice requirements for ending a tenancy. It also creates a streamlined, just‑cause eviction process, keeps certain eviction records private, and starts a pilot to report on‑time rent payments to credit bureaus. Landlords, tenants, and the State Treasurer’s office would be directly affected.
