Relating to consideration of education-related income in determining eligibility of applicants for residential tenancies.

SB 2734 requires landlords in Texas to include a specific "EDUCATION-RELATED INCOME" field on rental applications, where applicants can list grants, scholarships, and federal student loans. Landlords must count this income when calculating an applicant's current income for eligibility decisions. The bill directly affects renters (especially students relying on education funding) and landlords who must adjust their application processes. Violations could result in penalties including $100, three times the application fee, and attorney fees. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, applying only to applications provided on or after that date.
