Synopsis As Introduced

Amends the Landlord and Tenant Act. Provides that any landlord of a dwelling unit of residential real property must offer any tenant the option of having the tenant's rental payment information reported to at least one nationwide consumer reporting agency as long as the consumer reporting agency resells or otherwise furnishes rental payment information to a nationwide consumer reporting agency. "Rental payment information" means information regarding a tenant's complete, timely payments of rent. Requires that before reporting a tenant's rental history information, the landlord must first provide written notice of the offer and obtain written authorization from the tenant electing to have the rent reported. Specifies what information the notice must contain. Provides that if a tenant elects to have that tenant's rental payment information reported to a consumer reporting agency, the landlord may require that the tenant pay a fee not to exceed the actual cost to the landlord to provide the service plus $5 per month. Provides that the payment or nonpayment of this fee by the tenant may not be reported to a consumer reporting agency. Exempts a landlord of a residential rental building that contains 15 or fewer dwelling units, unless the landlord: (1) owns more than one residential rental building, regardless of the number of units in each building; and (2) is a corporation, limited liability company in which at least one member is a corporation or a real estate investment trust. Makes other changes.
