The bill amends Section 34-18-30 of the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act to introduce provisions for tenants to implement energy conservation measures at their own expense. Specifically, tenants may install removable weather-stripping around doors and windows, removable interior storm windows, or insulation wrap around hot water heating tanks. This section does not apply to group living units, hotel units, or rooming units.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that tenants are not authorized to make structural changes to the building and that the availability of other legal remedies remains unaffected. The act will take effect upon passage.
