Enacts the regulating equality in neighborhood tenancy act
This bill prohibits housing discrimination based on credit scores, adding it as a protected characteristic under New York's existing anti-discrimination law. It directly affects landlords, real estate agents, and housing providers who must now refrain from refusing rentals or sales, making discriminatory inquiries, or using biased advertising based on a person's credit history. Key provisions ban practices like denying housing availability, setting unequal terms, or printing ads that limit housing due to credit scores. The law expands current protections that already cover factors like race, gender, and disability, specifically including credit score in housing transactions.
