Bill information

Summary

To prohibit owners of covered dwelling units from assessing or collecting certain fees from tenants, and for other purposes.

Plain-language summary

The End Junk Fees for Renters Act would ban landlords of certain residential properties from charging tenants various fees beyond rent. The bill targets what sponsors call "junk fees"—extra charges like application fees, late payment penalties, or other costs that renters currently pay. The legislation applies to owners of rental dwelling units, though the specific types of fees and properties covered are determined by the bill's full text. This bill was recently introduced in Congress and is currently in the early legislative stage awaiting review.
