What changed in the latest version

In the latest version of Bill SB 76, the requirement for landlords to offer rent reporting to renters has been changed from mandatory to optional. This means landlords may choose whether or not to provide this option at the time of signing a rental agreement, instead of being required to do so annually. Additionally, the bill now clarifies that landlords can charge a fee for this service, but it cannot exceed the actual cost incurred. These changes could impact renters' ability to build credit through timely rent payments, as not all landlords may choose to participate in rent reporting.
