Caption: Relating to certain residential property interests controlled by certain entities.
Initially Referred to House Trade, Workforce & Economic Development Committee, chaired by a Republican
Last Referred to House State Affairs Committee, chaired by a Republican

HB 4211 establishes regulations for residential property interests owned by business entities. It defines "residential arrangements" where buyers purchase an ownership stake in a business entity rather than directly owning property. The bill mandates full disclosure to purchasers, prohibits mandatory arbitration clauses, and ensures that business entities cannot restrict ownership transfers or charge fees for selling interests. Violations are considered deceptive trade practices, and the bill includes protections against discrimination in the sale or transfer of interests.
