Legislature Considers Immigrant Tenants Bill
(Salem, OR) -- A state Senate Committee heard from Oregonians this week about a bill to specify how landlords can verify a prospective tenant's identity. Supporters say it would prohibit landlords from asking about the immigration status of a tenant applicant of a household member. Under the bill, landlords could run credit checks, but also designates taxpayer ID number cards from the IRS, immigration visas and driver licenses and others as acceptable forms of identity.
