What it does
The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.
Amends the Rental Property Utility Service Act. Provides that a landlord shall repair any leaking water pipe of a tenant within 30 days of the landlord being notified of a leak. Provides that this requirement applies if the leaking water pipe is under the landlord's control, but it does not apply if the leaking water pipe is owned by a municipality or water utility. Provides that, if a landlord violates this provision and the tenant pays the water bill, the landlord is liable for any additional costs incurred by the tenant as a result of the water leak.
