Overview: Bill Number: H 1933, Title: An Act further protecting tenants, Status: Hearing scheduled for 10/21/2025 from 01:00 PM-05:00 PM in A-2, Introduced: February 27, 2025
Purpose and Intent: The main goal of this bill is to strengthen tenant protections and address issues of housing affordability and stability. It aims to provide more safeguards for tenants against unfair evictions, rent increases, and other landlord practices that can make housing less accessible.
Key Provisions:
- Limits the grounds on which a landlord can terminate a tenancy or refuse to renew a lease
- Requires landlords to provide just cause for any eviction or non-renewal
- Caps annual rent increases at a rate tied to inflation
- Establishes a statewide rental assistance program to help low-income tenants afford housing
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Tenants, especially low-income and vulnerable populations, would benefit from greater housing stability and affordability protections
- Landlords would face more restrictions on their ability to raise rents or remove tenants, which could impact their business operations
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill is currently scheduled for a public hearing on October 21, 2025. If passed, the new tenant protections would go into effect 6 months after the bill's enactment.
