Creates the senior tenant bill of rights
HB 2917 creates a "Senior Tenant Bill of Rights" for renters aged 60 or older. It requires landlords to provide written leases before move-in, give 30-day renewal notices, maintain safe housing, disclose all fees upfront, and follow clear rent increase guidelines. Seniors can report violations to adult protective services, which will assist with complaints and connect them to legal aid resources. The bill directly affects landlords renting to seniors and aims to standardize tenant protections for this age group.
