Bill > LD990

This bill directs the Office of the Attorney General to create and promote a voluntary online registry specifically designed for landlords who rent rooms within their own primary residences. The registry will serve as an informational resource, providing landlords with clear guidance about their legal rights and responsibilities when renting out a portion of their home. By making the registry optional, the bill ensures that landlords can choose whether to participate, while still providing a centralized, accessible platform for understanding landlord-tenant laws and best practices. The goal appears to be to help homeowners who are considering renting out a room to be more informed about their legal obligations and potential protections, potentially making the process of becoming a small-scale landlord less intimidating and more transparent.
