Bill overview
This bill amends the Truth in Renting Act to prohibit landlords from including clauses in rental agreements that restrict tenants' rights to repair their premises. Specifically, it prohibits provisions that waive or alter remedies for habitability issues, limit security deposit rights, exclude discriminatory practices, or prevent tenants from demanding a trial by jury. The bill also requires rental agreements to include a notice informing tenants of their rights under the Truth in Renting Act and mandates specific notification procedures for lease renewals with rent increases.
