Relating to: access to prospective tenants’ credit scores and consumer credit reports.

Summary

The bill lets landlords require a prospective tenant to pay the actual cost (capped at $25) for a credit report, provided the tenant is told of the charge and receives a copy. It also gives tenants the right to decline the landlord’s request for credit information, and obligates landlords to provide an alternative way to assess the tenant’s ability to pay rent. This aims to balance landlords’ screening needs with renters’ privacy and cost concerns.
