Maddy summaryThis bill requires landlords to allow government inspectors to test their rental properties for environmental contamination if the property is located near a designated Superfund or brownfield site. Under the new rules, tenants can request these inspections, and landlords must grant access within sixty days unless recent test results have already been provided to the tenant. If a landlord refuses to comply with a valid request, they face civil penalties ranging from $1,000 for a first violation up to $5,000 for subsequent ones, while tenants may seek court enforcement for repeated non-compliance. The law aims to increase transparency regarding potential environmental hazards in residential areas without allowing inspectors to enter homes without a tenant's specific request.
