Bill Summary
Creates the senior tenant bill of rights
AI Summary
This bill establishes a "senior tenant bill of rights" to protect individuals aged sixty and older who rent properties. Landlords leasing to these "older adults" will be required to provide written lease agreements before tenants move in and written renewals at least thirty days before the current lease expires. They must also uphold all agreed-upon lease terms, maintain properties in safe and habitable conditions, clearly disclose all fees in the lease without charging extra, and ensure rent increases adhere to established state, municipal, or county guidelines. Anyone suspecting a violation can contact the adult protective services hotline, which will help with filing complaints, making referrals to legal aid, and providing information on tenant rights.
