Stops common rental “junk” fees, requires landlords to give key cost and fee information to prospective tenants, and directs federal regulators to define and restrict such fees. It bans application and tenant‑screening fees, limits how late fees may be charged, requires several pre‑lease disclosures for covered dwelling units, and orders the CFPB and FTC to issue a rule within 180 days that defines “junk fee” for rentals and treats reporting unpaid junk fees to consumer reporting agencies as an unfair debt‑collection practice under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
