Plain-English Summary

The federal government would require landlords who receive housing assistance funds to report when their rental properties are condemned by local authorities, and would establish penalties for those who fail to report or continue operating condemned buildings. This affects both property owners receiving federal rental assistance and tenants living in federally-supported housing, aiming to prevent people from living in unsafe or uninhabitable units while holding landlords accountable for maintaining their properties.
