What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, a landlord may require a prospective tenant to pay the landlord’s actual cost, up to $25, to obtain a consumer credit report on the prospective tenant from a consumer credit reporting agency that compiles and maintains files on consumers on a nationwide basis. The landlord must notify the prospective tenant of the charge before requesting the consumer credit report, and must provide a copy of the report to the prospective tenant.
Under this bill, a landlord may not require that a prospective tenant allow the landlord to obtain access to information regarding the prospective tenant’s credit score or consumer credit report regarding the prospective tenant. A landlord shall inform a prospective tenant that the tenant has the right to decline to allow the landlord access to information regarding the prospective tenant’s credit score and consumer credit report, and if the prospective tenant declines to provide access to the information, the landlord shall provide to the prospective tenant an alternative method of screening the prospective tenant’s ability to pay future rent.
