HB 4151 revises fair housing laws by regulating how landlords can consider criminal history in rental decisions. It requires landlords to allow applicants to present evidence of inaccuracies in their records or rehabilitation. The bill limits the types of criminal convictions that landlords may use to deny applications to certain sexual assault offenses under the Texas Penal Code.
