Bill Summary
Amends the Housing Authorities Act. Requires every housing authority to post on its official website in a downloadable, printable format sample rental or lease agreements that are written in the 3 most common non-English languages spoken in the city, village, incorporated town, or county for which the housing authority was created.
AI Summary
This bill requires housing authorities across Illinois to improve language accessibility by providing sample rental or lease agreements in multiple languages. Specifically, each housing authority must post downloadable and printable lease agreement templates on their official website in the three most common non-English languages spoken within their local jurisdiction. This provision aims to help non-English speaking residents better understand rental agreements and lease terms, potentially reducing barriers to housing and promoting clearer communication between housing authorities and residents from diverse linguistic backgrounds. By mandating the translation of these important legal documents, the bill seeks to make housing information more accessible and comprehensible for communities with limited English proficiency.
