An Act to maintain stable housing for families with pets in an economic crisis and beyond
This bill aims to protect families with pets from housing discrimination by prohibiting landlords, hotels, and public housing authorities from banning dogs based on breed, size, weight, or appearance. It also prevents insurance companies from denying coverage or charging higher premiums solely because a resident owns a specific dog breed, unless that dog is officially designated as dangerous. Additionally, the legislation includes a temporary eviction moratorium that stops landlords from evicting tenants solely for having pets for one year following a state of emergency, provided the animals do not threaten the safety of others.
