Portable Tenant Screening Report Amendment Act of 2025

The Portable Tenant Screening Report Amendment Act of 2025 (B 26-0477) requires District of Columbia housing providers to accept a single tenant screening report for 30 days when renting to prospective tenants, eliminating repeated application fees. The report must include name/contact info, credit history, current address, rental history, and eviction records, and must be provided at no cost to the tenant. This directly affects renters - especially low- and moderate-income residents - who currently pay multiple fees for similar screenings - and housing providers who must accept the reusable report instead of charging new fees. The bill prohibits housing providers from charging application fees or additional costs for using the report and bars them from denying applications based solely on the report's age.
