What’s in it

This bill relates to the authority of counties and cities to regulate rental housing. The bill prohibits a county or city from adopting or enforcing an ordinance or regulation that prohibits a person who has the right to lease, sublease, or S.F. _____ rent out a dwelling unit from refusing to lease or rent out the dwelling unit to a person because of the person’s use of a federal housing choice voucher issued by the United States department of housing and urban development. Such an ordinance or regulation adopted prior to the effective date of the bill is void and unenforceable on and after the effective date of the bill. For purposes of the bill, “dwelling unit” means a structure or the part of a structure that is used as a home, residence, or sleeping place.

Changed since by amendment H-1182; see Amendments.
