Landlord Accountability Act of 2025

The Landlord Accountability Act of 2025 prohibits housing discrimination based on "source of income," which now includes housing vouchers, Social Security benefits, child support, and other income sources. It establishes $100,000 penalties for landlords who intentionally make units uninhabitable to disqualify them from federal housing programs or leave units vacant for more than 60 days. The bill creates a Multifamily Housing Complaint Resolution Program to handle tenant complaints, requires landlords to display tenant rights information in multiple languages, and provides tax credits for landlords maintaining housing for voucher users. It allocates $90 million annually for enforcement and $25 million annually for tenant harassment prevention programs. The bill directly affects landlords of federally assisted multifamily housing projects and tenants using housing vouchers or other income sources.
