Bill overview
This bill aims to increase transparency and protect tenants’ rights regarding rental fees and charges. It requires landlords to clearly disclose all costs, including rent, security deposits, fees for optional services, and utility charges, in advertisements and rental agreements. For existing tenancies, it extends some of these requirements to cover fees charged at the start of the lease, while for new tenancies, it establishes stricter rules regarding fee disclosures and prohibits landlords from using ratio utility billing systems to unfairly allocate costs. The bill also addresses late fees and provides for potential damages for violations.
