Provides that every covered housing provider, as defined, and its agents that receive federal housing assistance payments from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development are subject to the provisions of the Act. Provides that unless required by federal law or an applicable State or federal funding program, no covered housing provider shall establish or implement any rules, policies, or procedures that: (i) impose time limits as a condition of initial or continued eligibility for any covered housing or that impact the amount of the rent subsidy or assistance provided to covered housing tenants; or (ii) impose work requirements as a condition of initial or continued eligibility for any covered housing or that impact the amount of the rent subsidy or assistance provided to covered housing tenants. Provides that nothing with respect to this prohibition prevents a covered housing provider from terminating assistance or a residential lease as authorized by federal law. Permits a covered housing provider to establish and implement a voluntary employment or job training program, or encourage a covered housing applicant or tenant to participate in a voluntary employment or job training program if program participation does not impact the applicant's or tenant's initial or continued eligibility for the rent subsidy or assistance or the amount of rent subsidy or assistance; and the program has one or more specified goals.

Provides that the prohibition includes, but is not limited to, services related to listing the property, showing the property, screening or qualifying prospective tenants, and preparing or executing lease documents. Provides that nothing in the Act is intended to prohibit the following: (1) a residential property owner, landlord, lessor, or sublessor from seeking or collecting an application or screening fee from a tenant or prospective tenant; or (2) a real estate broker or residential leasing agent from seeking or collecting any payment, fee, commission, or other charge from the party that retained the services of the real estate broker or residential leasing agent.
