AN ACT relating to the fraudulent sale or lease of real property.

HB 747 makes it a crime to falsely advertise real property for sale, lease, or rent without legal ownership, causing financial harm to Kentucky residents. It specifically targets individuals or entities listing residential or commercial properties without title or authority, resulting in monetary loss for buyers or renters in Kentucky. The bill establishes penalties of a Class D felony for a first offense and a Class C felony for repeat violations. This directly affects property sellers/landlords making fraudulent listings and protects Kentuckians from financial harm through deceptive real estate practices.
