The Landlords Applications Bill
Idaho bill limits how much landlords can charge for applications
Adds to existing law to provide for limitations on rental application fees.
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would put a cap on how much landlords can charge people to apply for a rental home, saving renters money.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill aims to stop landlords from charging too much just to apply for a place to live. If it passes, it would help people save money when they are looking for a new home. Right now, landlords can charge whatever they want for these fees, and it can add up quickly, making it harder for families to find housing. People should pay attention to this bill because it could make renting more fair and affordable.
