Relates to potential tenants with a criminal history; and relates to public housing applicants with a criminal history

This bill prohibits landlords from denying rental applications solely based on a potential tenant's criminal history and creates similar protections for public housing applicants. It requires landlords to avoid blanket denials and mandates that public housing programs cannot inquire about criminal history before determining eligibility. The bill also establishes strict criteria for denying housing based on criminal history (only if directly related to public safety), bans consideration of sealed records, and requires an appeal process for rejected applicants. These changes directly affect renters in private housing and applicants for state/local public housing subsidies.
