Use of tenant screening software that uses nonpublic competitor data to set rent prohibited, and use of software that is biased against protected classes prohibited.

HF 1142 prohibits landlords and tenant screening services from using software that sets rent based on nonpublic data from competing landlords, such as rent prices or occupancy rates. It also bans tenant screening software that discriminates against protected groups, including race, religion, or gender. Violations can lead to civil lawsuits seeking at least $1,000 per incident, and the law takes effect on August 1, 2025. The bill targets specific software practices while allowing standard rental tools like aggregate market reports.
