This bill aims to cut “junk fees” in rental housing and make costs clearer for renters. It would ban landlords from charging application fees and background-check fees when you apply for a rental. It would also limit late fees to under 3% of the monthly rent and only allow them after a 15-day grace period, with these rules clearly shown in new leases.
Before you sign a lease, the landlord would have to show you: the full monthly amount you’ll owe (including any fees), a summary of any past lawsuits they’ve had with tenants, any ongoing pest or maintenance problems, and how much the rent went up each year for the last 10 years. Within 180 days after the law takes effect, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission must set the detailed rules, including defining “junk fees,” and they would treat reporting unpaid junk fees to credit bureaus as an unfair debt-collection tactic.
