Key Provisions
This bill:
- defines terms;
- provides that an owner may provide a renter an offer of rent reporting at the time the owner and renter enter into a rental agreement;
- provides that an owner charge a fee for rent reporting that may not exceed the actual cost of the rent reporting;
- provides the consequences for a renter failing to pay the fee for rent reporting;
- provides that a renter may enroll and unenroll in rent reporting at any time during the duration of the rental agreement;
- prohibits a renter from reenrolling in rent reporting for at least six months if the renter fails to pay the fee for rent reporting or the renter unenrolls in rent reporting; and
- provides that the provisions this bill enacts apply only to an entity that owns one or more residential rental units or an individual that owns 16 or more residential rental units.

Plain-Language Summary
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Starting in 2027, qualifying landlords — rental companies of any size and individual landlords owning 16 or more units — may offer renters the option to have their monthly rent payments reported to a national credit bureau, with any fee capped at the landlord's actual cost of reporting. Renters can enroll or opt out at any time during their lease, but if they stop paying the fee or choose to unenroll, they must wait at least six months before re-enrolling. Landlords cannot penalize renters for declining or stopping participation — it cannot be treated as a lease violation or used as grounds for eviction. For renters who lack traditional credit history, this program could offer a pathway to building a credit record through payments they're already making.
