relative to the designation and control of shared facilities in rental properties.

HB 1450 clarifies and updates rules for residential rental properties with shared common areas like kitchens or bathrooms. It requires written documentation confirming a property is a "shared facility" (where tenants share significant spaces), expands the definition to include renters ("lessees") in designation decisions, and defines "owner" to cover both landlords and renters managing these spaces. The bill specifically applies to standard residential rentals (excluding short-term vacation rentals, hotels, dorms, or institutional housing like shelters). Key changes include making the shared facility status formal in writing and ensuring both renters and landlords have a role in the designation process.
