AN ACT PROHIBITING A LANDLORD FROM RETALIATING AGAINST A TENANT WHO PREVAILS IN A FAIR RENT COMMISSION PROCEEDING.

SB 1304 prohibits landlords from taking adverse actions against tenants who win cases in fair rent commission proceedings. Specifically, it bans retaliation - such as eviction, rent hikes, or other negative measures - within six months of a tenant prevailing in such a hearing. The bill amends state law to require commissions to order landlords to stop retaliatory conduct if proven. This directly protects tenants who successfully challenge excessive rents or unsafe housing conditions through official commission processes. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025.
