LANDLORD UTILITY DISCLOSURE
Summary
Amends the Tenant Utility Payment Disclosure Act. Requires a landlord to provide to the prospective tenant a separate statement detailing any utility services to be paid for by the landlord. Provides that failure of the landlord to provide the required statement does not invalidate the lease, but gives rise to a rebuttable presumption of the landlord's bad faith in any action against the landlord based in whole or in part on the landlord's failure to provide utility services.
