Relating to: rent abatement and retaliatory conduct and granting rule-making authority.

Summary

The bill lets renters receive partial rent refunds when their home becomes uninhabitable due to hazards or damage, and it creates a state‑run schedule to define those refunds. It also presumes that a landlord’s rent increase, service cut, eviction suit, or lease non‑renewal is retaliatory if the tenant has recently exercised legal rights. Landlords can still sue for possession only if the tenant owes rent unrelated to a prohibited increase or an approved abatement.
