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 and the landlord fails to begin fixing the conditions within 30 days after he or she is notified by the tenant in writing. After the landlord finishes fixing the conditions, the landlord must have the premises inspected by a licensed inspector and the inspector will determine whether the conditions have been fixed.
This bill is the same as HB 2494 (2020).
