Bill overview
This bill aims to put limits on fees that landlords can charge to tenants in Massachusetts. It seeks to address what are often called "junk fees" – unexpected or excessive charges – related to rental housing. The legislation would require landlords to disclose these fees upfront and restrict the amount they can charge for certain services. The goal is to protect renters from unfair financial burdens.
