Good for everyday people ·
This bill would make landlords tell you important things before you rent and stop them from charging huge late fees, saving you money.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help people renting homes by making sure they get important information upfront. It would also put limits on how much landlords can charge if rent is paid late. This means fewer surprises for renters and protection from very high fees that can make it hard to catch up. Landlords might say these new rules add extra work for them. Since this bill is just starting, now is a good time to let your lawmakers know if you think these changes are fair for renters.
