Bill > HB4123

This bill, relating to landlord disclosure of confidential information, limits the types of private information a landlord can share about a tenant, former tenant, or applicant, defining "confidential information" broadly to include details like Social Security numbers, banking information, immigration status, and records related to asserting rights or disability. Landlords are prohibited from disclosing this information except under specific circumstances, such as with the individual's written consent, as required by a court order (but not administrative subpoenas), to comply with affordable housing regulations, for background checks, to share contact details for essential services like repairs, to respond to reference requests from potential landlords, or for the landlord's own legal or insurance needs. If a landlord knowingly violates these provisions, the affected individual can seek damages equal to twice the monthly rent of the tenancy or prospective tenancy, and the bill takes effect 91 days after the legislative session concludes.
