Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

This bill modifies rules for pet ownership in federally-assisted public housing by prohibiting breed-based restrictions on pets. It allows public housing agencies to impose reasonable requirements such as pet deposits (capped at 10% of monthly rent and amortized over at least 3 months), limits on the number of animals, and prohibitions on species banned by state or local law or individual animals deemed dangerous by a court. Pet deposits must be fully refunded within 30 days of move-out if unused, and cannot be withheld for non-pet-related damage or ordinary wear and tear.
