What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill makes it illegal for landlords to refuse to rent to people based on their source of income, including housing vouchers, Social Security, disability payments, or child support. It also stops landlords from intentionally making their properties ineligible for government housing assistance and prohibits owners of certain apartment buildings from leaving units empty for more than 60 days. The bill requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development to hire more staff for tenant complaints and create new programs to help tenants report problems. Landlords who follow the complaint process and maintain low-income housing can get a tax credit for their maintenance costs.
