SB 1296: Real property: rentals: pet policy.
<p>This bill requires landlords who do not allow pets in residential rental properties to clearly disclose their no-pet policy in advertisements, rental applications, and lease agreements. Landlords allowing pets must provide a written pet policy online, in digital ads, and through search engines, including details like breed and weight restrictions and required fees. The bill excludes service and support animals from these requirements. If a landlord charges an application fee without disclosing the pet policy first, they must refund the fee if the applicant is ineligible to rent due to the pet policy or declines to proceed.</p>
