MINOR
This bill version adds 'landlords' to the list of property owners subject to public marketing rules, expanding the law's scope beyond just sellers. It also introduces a new definition for 'private or limited access channels' to clarify what restricted listing systems are, and reorganizes the structure of the disclosure form requirements.
Scope change
The bill now explicitly applies to landlords leasing residential properties, in addition to sellers of homes.
ELIGIBILITY
Added 'landlords' to the list of property owners who must publicly advertise their listings, ensuring tenants have the same access rights as home buyers.
DEFINITION
Defined 'private or limited access channels' as systems that restrict information to specific brokers or buyers and are not broadly accessible to the public.
REQUIREMENT
Reorganized the text of the disclosure form requirements to better align with the new definition of private channels and the inclusion of landlords.
