Revises provisions relating to housing. (BDR 10-478)

Existing law requires a landlord and a tenant to perform certain obligations with respect to a lease of real property. (Chapter 118A of NRS) Section 1 of this bill requires a landlord of a dwelling unit to make a written offer to each tenant to report the positive rental payment information of the tenant to at least one: (1) consumer reporting agency that compiles and maintains files on consumers on a nationwide basis; or (2) consumer reporting agency that resells or otherwise furnishes rental payment information to a consumer reporting agency that compiles and maintains files on consumers on a nationwide basis. Section 1 additionally: (1) prescribes the contents of the written offer; (2) requires a landlord to provide the tenant with a self-addressed, stamped envelope to return the acceptance of the written offer to the landlord; (3) authorizes a tenant to accept the written offer at any time after receipt; (4) authorizes a landlord to charge a fee for the reporting; (5) authorizes a landlord to stop reporting the positive rental payment information if the fee remains unpaid by the tenant for 30 days or more; and (6) requires a landlord to stop reporting the positive rental payment information upon request. Section 1 exempts from these provisions a landlord of a premises that includes 15 or fewer rental dwelling units unless the landlord meets certain criteria.
