Landlord Accountability Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • The bill prohibits landlords from refusing to rent based on tenants' income source, including housing vouchers and government assistance.
  • Tenants in federally assisted housing and low-income renters are protected from discrimination and unit neglect.
  • Landlords who comply with maintenance standards and complaint resolution within 30 days can claim a tax credit for low-income housing expenses.

  3. 03

    Which landlords would benefit most from the proposed tax credit, and could this incentive effectively offset any losses from accepting voucher-holding tenants?
