What it does
This bill requires a landlord of a dwelling unit or manufactured or mobile home space served by well water to test the well prior to entering a rental agreement with a prospective tenant or every two years, whichever is longer, pursuant to rules and standards adopted by the department of natural resources and county boards of health. If the well water is not safe to drink pursuant to such standards, the landlord must take corrective action prior to entering the rental agreement with a prospective tenant or as soon as possible if a current tenant occupies the dwelling unit or mobile home space.
