Prohibits nondisclosure agreements tied to privatized military housing and would strengthen protections and reporting for tenants who face retaliation over housing issues.
Show full summary
- Military families and tenants: Would bar landlords from asking tenants, former tenants, or prospective tenants to sign nondisclosure agreements about their housing or services. The rule would apply to all housing types, including accompanied family housing and unaccompanied housing, and defines "tenant" broadly.
- Landlords and housing managers: Would stop landlords from using NDAs in connection with housing services. That limits what private housing companies can require when occupants report problems.
- Oversight, inspectors, and lawmakers: Would expand who can receive reprisal reports to include housing management offices, the Department of Defense Chief Housing Officer, inspectors general, and Members of Congress. It would also require an inspector general to notify the relevant military department Secretary and the House and Senate Armed Services Committees within 10 business days of a reprisal report, and it adjusts which office issues final action notices.

Ban NDAs and strengthen military tenant protections
If enacted, the bill would bar landlords from requiring current, former, or prospective tenants to sign nondisclosure agreements about privatized military housing. The ban would apply to all housing types, including accompanied family housing and unaccompanied military housing. It would define “tenant” to include any lease party other than the landlord. The bill would also expand who can receive reprisal reports (adding housing management offices, the Defense Chief Housing Officer, inspectors general, and Members of Congress) and would require an inspector general to notify the military department Secretary and the House and Senate Armed Services committees within 10 business days after receiving a reprisal report. The bill would change the timing and wording of notices and final-action steps between the Inspector General and the Secretary.
