This bill would make landlords tell you how much of your rent goes to property taxes, so you know where your money goes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill is good for renters because it would make landlords share important information. You would see exactly how much of your monthly rent helps pay for the building's property taxes. This helps you understand your rent better. Landlords might say it is extra work for them to share this information. But knowing this detail could help you decide if your rent is fair. It also lets you see how property taxes affect your housing costs. This bill is still new, so now is the time to tell your lawmakers if you want this information.
