LC 4057 — Generally revise laws related to landlords and tenants

Overview

LC 4057 is a proposed measure described by its title as a broad revision of existing landlord-tenant laws. The available information does not include the bill’s actual text, so specific provisions, changes, or impacts beyond the general scope implied by the title cannot be stated with certainty.

Status and Legislative Timeline

  • Introduced: December 15, 2024
  • Drafter Assigned: December 15, 2024
  • Legislative Status: Draft Died in Process
  • Last Action: May 22, 2025 (Died in Process)

Note: “Died in Process” indicates the bill did not advance through the legislative process in the current session. There is no current active version or amendments publicly recorded for further action unless reintroduced.

What the bill would cover (as implied by the title)

Because the text is not provided, the exact provisions are unknown. A broad revision of landlord-tenant laws typically could touch on:
- Definitions and scope of tenancy
- Lease formation, disclosures, and enforceability
- Security deposits, fees, and refunds
- Rent, late payments, and collection practices
- Evictions and eviction procedures, notices, and timelines
- Habitability standards and repair requirements
- Landlord access and entry rules
- Property maintenance, compliance, and penalties
- Disclosures related to property condition, tenant rights, and local laws
- Protections for tenants (e.g., retaliation, discrimination, rent increases)
- Enforcement mechanisms and remedies for violations
- Coordination with local ordinances and housing agencies

These areas are common focal points in comprehensive landlord-tenant revision bills, but they are not confirmed for LC 4057 without the actual text.

Who would be affected

  • Tenants and prospective tenants
  • Landlords, property owners, and property management entities
  • Realtors and leasing agents
  • Housing authorities and local government agencies responsible for landlord-tenant enforcement
  • Attorneys and legal aid organizations representing tenants or landlords

Procedural and timeline considerations

  • The bill had a defined introduction and drafting phase in December 2024.
  • It failed to progress beyond the drafting stage as of May 2025.
  • If policymakers choose to revive the measure, it could be reintroduced in a future session, start a new draft, and follow the standard committee and floor-action timeline for that session.

Limitations of available information

  • No text or summary of specific provisions is provided for LC 4057.
  • Therefore, this overview cannot confirm exact changes, fiscal impact, or implementation timelines.

Next steps

  • If you have access to the full bill text or committee reports, share them for a precise, provision-by-provision summary.
  • If you want, I can draft a more detailed analysis once the text is available, including fiscal impact, timelines for compliance, and who would be eligible for any new protections or requirements.
