This bill:
AI-generated summary, reviewed by Better Utah staff.
Starting in July 2026, this bill requires housing authorities created by Utah's largest cities (cities of the first class, like Salt Lake City) to offer their renters the option to have their monthly rent payments reported to a nationwide credit reporting agency, both when a lease is signed and at least once each year. Participation is voluntary, and housing authorities may charge a fee for this service as long as it doesn't exceed their actual cost. Renters can opt in or out at any time, but if they drop out or fail to pay the fee, they must wait at least six months before re-enrolling; importantly, a renter cannot be penalized, fined, or evicted for choosing not to pay the reporting fee. The law is set to expire at the end of 2027.
