Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the real property law, in relation to prohibiting the use of an algorithmic device by a landlord for the purpose of determining the amount of rent to charge a residential tenant
AI Summary
This bill prohibits landlords from using algorithmic devices, which are tools that use algorithms to analyze data, including competitor rent information, to determine the amount of rent to charge residential tenants. The bill defines "algorithmic device" broadly to include products that incorporate such technology, but excludes aggregated and anonymized rent reports from trade associations and tools used for affordable housing programs. It also clarifies that "nonpublic competitor data" refers to information not readily available to the public about actual rent prices, occupancy rates, and lease details from competing landlords. The use of these devices for setting rent is declared a deceptive act or practice, subject to penalties and remedies under existing consumer protection laws, and will apply to rental agreements signed on or after the bill's effective date, which is 90 days after it becomes law.
