Overview
This bill establishes confidentiality for landlord-tenant court records and addresses adverse actions on rental applications. It mandates that court records related to landlord-tenant disputes, excluding judgments for possession, remain confidential for a specified period, with exceptions for judgments for possession. The bill also prohibits landlords from using these records to unfairly deny rental applications and requires landlords to provide notice when taking adverse action on an application, disclosing the screening criteria used. Finally, it aims to prevent discrimination against tenants based on past legal actions in landlord-tenant matters.
