Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits a political subdivision from enacting an ordinance that does any of the following with respect to a residential landlord: 1) prohibits or limits the landlord from obtaining or using various types of information about a tenant or prospective tenant, such as household income, occupation, court records, rental history, and credit information; 2) limits how far back in time a prospective tenant's credit information, conviction record, or previous housing may be considered by the landlord; 3) prohibits the landlord from showing a rental property to a prospective tenant, or from entering into a rental agreement for a rental property with a prospective tenant, while the current tenant is living there; 4) places requirements on the landlord relating to security deposits, earnest money, or inspections that are additional to the requirements under the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection's rules; 5) limits a landlord's ability to recover for damages to a landlord's premises during the tenant's occupancy or to recover for costs for which the tenant is responsible under the lease; 6) requires a landlord to provide certain information to its tenants or to the political subdivision; 7) requires inspections of rental properties or units except upon complaint or as part of a statutorily described inspection program; 8) charges fees beyond those specified under the statutes; or 9) requires that a rental property or rental unit be certified, registered, or licensed or requires that a residential rental property owner register or obtain a certification or license related to owning or managing the rental property.
This bill repeals these prohibitions.
