HB3320 Summary

• Requires municipal clerks to establish a residential lease depository where owners of single-family rental houses must file lease agreements listing all authorized residents.

• Authorizes municipal clerks to initiate eviction actions against unauthorized residents if they fail to provide proof of authorization within 30 days of request, but only in municipalities with crime-free housing programs.

• Requires municipal clerks to establish an adverse possession notice depository and notify registered property owners when adverse possession claims are filed.

• Modifies adverse possession law for properties within municipalities by deeming the right of action to accrue at whichever is later: the time of wrongful ouster or the filing of an adverse possession notice with the municipal clerk.

• Exempts lease agreements filed in the residential lease depository from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
