Renter Resource Center Act

This bill requires the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to set up, within 180 days, a toll-free phone line and public website where people renting homes from large institutional investors can report and track disputes with their landlords. HUD must respond to renters, investigate reports of possible federal law violations, and give renters contact information for state authorities on state law issues. Large investors, defined as for-profit entities controlling at least 350 covered single-family homes, must tell renters about the resource when they move in and every year, and must report yearly to HUD how many such homes they control and where. HUD must send Congress a yearly public report on the disputes received, with personal information protected.
