| Subjects |
Concerning a prohibition on a landlord engaging in certain activities related to a tenant's citizenship status.
Bill Summary:
The "Immigrant Tenant Protection Act" (Act) is created, which prohibits a landlord from engaging in certain housing practices or related activities based on the immigration or citizenship status of a tenant. A tenant who is aggrieved by a landlord's violation of the Act may bring a civil action and seek certain remedies.
In a civil action brought under the Act, a tenant's immigration or citizenship status is not relevant, and inquiry into the tenant's status is not permitted unless:
- The claims raised by the tenant place the tenant's immigration or citizenship status in contention; or
- The person seeking to make the inquiry demonstrates by clear and convincing evidence that the inquiry is necessary in order to comply with federal law.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
