Bill > H8110

This bill requires landlords who rent out properties located on the shoreline, as defined by a specific law (§ 5-20.8-1), to provide tenants with a written disclosure before they move in. This disclosure must inform tenants about public rights to access the shoreline, specifying that the public can use wet sand, dry sand, or rocky beach areas up to ten feet inland from the high tide line, subject to certain restrictions. Landlords must also inform tenants about any known public rights-of-way on the property and provide documentation if requested, advising tenants to contact relevant authorities like the coastal resources management council or local municipalities for more information on public access. This disclosure can be included in the rental agreement or provided as a separate written notice, and the bill takes effect immediately upon its passage.
