Prohibits landlord from considering certain actions in tenant screening; clarifies that rent receivership action does not require rent deposit and may be based on implied warranty of habitability.

This bill limits when landlords can use a tenant's housing court record to deny a rental application, only allowing them to consider judgments for possession within the last three years that are not under appeal. If a landlord denies an application, they must provide a written explanation and all screening information used. The bill also clarifies that tenants can start a court case to have rent money used for repairs without first paying a deposit, and that this case can be based on the landlord not keeping the property fit for living.
