The Fees Ahead Bill
Landlords must tell you about fees ahead of time
Notice Requirements for Landlord Fees
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would make landlords tell renters about all fees up front, so you know what you're paying before you sign.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help renters avoid surprise fees from their landlords. Right now, some landlords might add fees later that renters did not know about when they moved in. This bill would make sure landlords have to tell you about all fees before you agree to rent. This means you would know the full cost of renting a place from the start. Some might say this could make things harder for landlords, but it mostly helps renters make better choices about where to live.
