Providing that under rental agreements governed by the residential landlord tenant act, a landlord is required to count certain income when considering a tenant or prospective tenant's qualifications for housing, providing for the sealing and expungement of court records in eviction actions related to such rental agreements and requiring mediation in such eviction cases unless the court finds that mediation would not aid the parties materially.
This bill requires landlords to consider all lawful sources of income when evaluating a tenant's or prospective tenant's income. It also mandates that court records for eviction cases under the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act be sealed automatically, with specific conditions for unsealing and expungement after a certain period. Additionally, the bill requires mediation in these eviction cases unless the court finds it wouldn't be helpful.
