SB 52: Housing rental terms: algorithmic devices.
What SB 52 does, verified December 6, 2025
The bill aims to protect tenants from unfair rental practices. It makes it unlawful for individuals or companies to sell or provide rental pricing algorithms that help set rent terms for residential premises. These algorithms must not process nonpublic competitor data. The bill also prohibits setting or adopting rental terms based on algorithm recommendations if the algorithm uses competitor data. The state will have the authority to file civil actions against violators, and individuals harmed by these practices can also file civil actions.
