Plain-language change summary

The amendment to the bill adds language to emphasize the urgency of continuing rent payment plans for tenants facing financial hardships due to past emergencies like COVID-19. It clarifies that even though eligibility for tenants to apply for these payment plans ended in July 2022, protections for tenants, including record-keeping requirements for landlords, need to remain intact until July 2025. This change is important to ensure that tenants still have some support and that landlords comply with the necessary documentation during this extended period.
