AI Summary

This bill prohibits landlords from discriminating against prospective or current tenants based on their source of income, including government or private assistance programs, rent vouchers, or other lawful income. Landlords cannot refuse to rent, evict, or make distinctions in the terms and conditions of rental agreements due to a tenant's source of income. The bill also requires landlords to subtract any rental assistance or vouchers from the total rent amount when calculating income requirements. Violations of this law are considered unlawful practices, and the Attorney General can investigate and take appropriate action.
