Bill Summary
Relative to discrimination in the leasing of certain dwelling units. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the General Laws to exempt the leasing of accessory dwelling units from certain anti-discrimination provisions. Specifically, it allows the owner of an accessory dwelling unit, as defined in the Zoning Act, to lease the unit as a preference to an immediate family member, and if no such person leases the unit, the anti-discrimination provisions would then apply. The bill aims to provide flexibility for homeowners in leasing accessory dwelling units, which are additional living spaces on the same property as a primary residence.
