Requires the division of housing and community renewal to calculate the period of rent reduction due to diminution of services from the date of actual diminution of the services

This bill amends the Emergency Tenant Protection Act to clarify how rent reductions are calculated when a landlord fails to maintain required services. The primary change allows the Division of Housing and Community Renewal to reduce rent retroactively to the exact date the service failure began, regardless of when the tenant reported the issue or when the division officially addressed it. Additionally, the bill clarifies the procedural order, ensuring the division must first find a failure to maintain services before issuing a rent reduction.
