Overview: Bill Number: A 9033, Title: Enacts the "extreme weather tenant protection act", Status: REFERRED TO JUDICIARY, Introduced: September 05, 2025
Purpose and Intent: The "extreme weather tenant protection act" aims to safeguard tenants' rights and ensure their safety during extreme weather events. The bill recognizes the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, and seeks to establish a comprehensive framework to protect vulnerable populations living in rental properties.
Key Provisions:
- Requires landlords to develop and implement emergency preparedness plans for their rental properties
- Mandates that landlords provide tenants with emergency supplies and information prior to extreme weather events
- Prohibits landlords from evicting tenants or increasing rents during or immediately after an extreme weather emergency
- Establishes penalties and fines for landlords who fail to comply with the new requirements
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily affect residential tenants, particularly those living in areas prone to extreme weather events. Landlords of rental properties would also be impacted, as they would be required to take proactive measures to protect their tenants. The legislation aims to ensure that vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, disabled, and low-income individuals, have access to necessary resources and protections during natural disasters.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Judiciary Committee for further consideration. If passed, the legislation would likely require a transition period for landlords to develop and implement the required emergency preparedness plans.
