Tenant rights establishment when a landlord has received funding to assist with renovations of a residential rental unit
This bill requires landlords who receive government funds (federal, state, or local) to renovate a rental unit for a tenant's health, safety, or disability to allow that tenant to stay in the unit. It prohibits landlords from nonrenewing the tenant's lease in violation of this rule, making such nonrenewal void and holding landlords liable for tenant costs like attorney fees. The bill also states that unreasonable rent increases may be treated as constructive nonrenewal and violate this provision. It directly affects tenants with specific needs and landlords receiving renovation assistance funds. The law aims to prevent displacement during necessary accommodations.
