Creating a public county registry of the monthly rent charged by landlords for each owned unit and prohibiting landlords from using algorithms or software to determine rental rates.
This bill, HB558, aims to establish a public registry in each county that lists the monthly rent charged by landlords for each of their units. It also seeks to ban landlords from using algorithms or software to determine these rental rates.
This bill would affect landlords by requiring them to disclose their monthly rent prices publicly and prohibiting them from using automated systems to set these prices. It would impact renters by potentially providing them with more transparency and preventing unfair pricing practices.

The most recent action was a House vote on March 20, 2025, where it was decided that the bill would not proceed further in the legislative process.
