HR 6713 United States House · 119th Congress

Protect Veteran Students, Job Seekers, and Entrepreneurs Housing Act

This bill requires landlords to count VA educational benefits (like tuition assistance for veterans and their families) as income when evaluating rental applications, preventing discrimination against veterans using these benefits. It also limits lease terms to match the duration of the educational benefits and adds a 60-day grace period if veterans temporarily miss program requirements (e.g., missing a class or appointment), preventing immediate loss of benefits. Landlords violating these rules face penalties, including fines or exclusion from federal housing programs. The law directly affects veterans, students, and families receiving VA education benefits who seek housing.
