HB 1252

As introduced: - Requires landlords who own more than 10 rental units and use an algorithmic pricing device to set rent to disclose its use and the name of the software to a tenant or prospective tenant. - Entitles a tenant or prospective tenant, upon request, to a plain-language summary of the general factors used by the device and to a human review of the rent determination. - Prohibits a landlord from misrepresenting the use of an algorithmic pricing device, advertising a rent price as non-negotiable solely because it was generated by such a device, or using the device in a deceptive or misleading manner. - Authorizes the Attorney General to seek an injunction and a civil penalty of up to $1,000 for each violation.
