The bill amends the "Residential Landlord and Tenant Act" to require landlords of shoreline properties to provide tenants with a written disclosure regarding public shoreline access rights before the commencement of the tenancy. This disclosure must include information about the public's right to access shoreline property, any known public rights-of-way, and advice for tenants to contact relevant authorities for further information. The disclosure can be incorporated into the rental agreement or provided as a separate notice.

Additionally, the bill modifies regulations concerning short-term rentals offered through hosting platforms. It requires owners of shoreline properties to provide occupants with a shoreline access disclosure prior to the commencement of the short-term rental, which includes similar information about public access rights. This disclosure can be made by including it in the listing on a hosting platform or by incorporating it into a written rental agreement or separate notice.

This act is set to take effect on January 1, 2027.
