What it does
The bill amends the Fair Housing Act to ban housing discrimination based on a tenant's source of income, including Section 8 vouchers, Social Security, and child support. It sets a $100,000 penalty for landlords who intentionally damage a unit to make it ineligible for federal assistance, and a separate $100,000 penalty for every 30 days that landlords intentionally leave an assisted unit vacant past 60 days. It also requires HUD to run a complaint hotline and resolution program, and requires public notices of tenant rights in qualifying buildings.
