Prohibits rent minimums in mortgages
This bill would prevent mortgage lenders from penalizing borrowers who don't set high enough rental rates on properties covered by their mortgages. It voids any mortgage clause requiring minimum rents or punishing low rents, applying to all mortgages regardless of when they were created, renewed, or modified. The law directly affects property owners with mortgages who might face fees or default penalties for not meeting arbitrary rent minimums. This policy change ensures lenders cannot enforce such clauses as against public policy.
