Bill > AB341

This bill revises the Nevada Fair Housing Law to prohibit landlords from discriminating against corporations that help people with disabilities obtain housing. Specifically, the bill prevents landlords from refusing to rent to, negotiate with, or deny housing to a corporation solely because it provides housing assistance to a person with a disability. If such a corporation's rental application is denied, the landlord must provide a written explanation of the reasons for denial within 7 days to the corporation, the Aging and Disability Services Division, and the Office of the Ombudsman for Owners in Common-Interest Communities and Condominium Hotels. The bill extends existing protections in the Nevada Fair Housing Law to these new provisions, allowing people who believe they have been discriminated against to file complaints with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission or pursue legal action. If a landlord is found to have violated these provisions, they may be subject to actual and punitive damages, court costs, and attorney's fees. The bill also ensures that tenants have a defense against retaliatory actions by landlords who attempt to terminate tenancy or take other punitive measures in response to complaints about housing discrimination.
