HB 135 prohibits landlords and housing providers in Ohio from refusing to rent to tenants based on their lawful source of income, such as government benefits (e.g., SNAP, housing vouchers), retirement pay, or student loans. It directly affects landlords, property managers, and housing authorities by adding "lawful source of income" to the list of protected classes under housing law, alongside existing protections for race, disability, and other characteristics. The bill amends Ohio Revised Code to define "housing accommodations" broadly and explicitly ban discrimination in rental decisions based on how tenants legally earn or receive money. This change aims to prevent housing denial for people using public assistance or alternative income sources.
