A sensor may be installed only after the resident gives written permission
What the document says“Each public housing agency or owner of a covered federally assisted rental dwelling unit that acquires 1 or more approved temperature sensors under this section shall, after receiving written permission from the resident of a dwelling unit, install such temperature sensor and monitor the data from such temperature sensor.”
The section requires a public housing agency or owner that buys approved temperature sensors under the section to install them and monitor their data, and to do so only after receiving written permission from the resident of the unit.
What the document actually says“Each public housing agency or owner of a covered federally assisted rental dwelling unit that acquires 1 or more approved temperature sensors under this section shall, after receiving written permission from the resident of a dwelling unit, install such temperature sensor and monitor the data from such temperature sensor.”
The landlord or housing agency must ask the person who lives there first. The person must say yes in writing. Only then may the sensor go in.
A sensor sits inside somebody's home. So the law makes consent a condition. Watching the readings is part of the same duty.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
