HB 1954 -- HABITABILITY OF THE PREMISES OF A TENANT

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 specified in the bill, and the landlord fails to begin remediation within 30 days after written notice by the tenant. After the landlord completes remediation, the landlord must have the premises inspected by a licensed inspector.

This bill is the same as HB 253 (2025); and HB 1596 (2024).
