Rental Housing Registration Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2025
This bill extends the deadline for housing providers to register rental properties from 90 to 180 days after the rent control database launches. It specifically requires owners of properties *not* subject to rent stabilization (exempt units) to report current monthly rent and rent from the previous two calendar years at registration time. The changes apply only to non-rent-controlled housing and expire 225 days after the bill takes effect. This amendment temporarily modifies the 1985 Rental Housing Act to simplify registration for exempt properties.
