SPONSOR: Bosley
This bill specifies that the landlord of a premises is liable for damages to a tenant if, through no fault of the tenant, the premises contain conditions that materially affect the health and safety of the tenant, as described in the bill, and the landlord fails to begin remediation within 30 days after written notice by the tenant. The bill includes examples of conditions that would materially affect the health and safety of the tenant. After the landlord completes remediation, the landlord must have the premises inspected by a licensed inspector and the inspector will determine whether the conditions have been corrected.
This bill is the same as HB 1085 (2023).
