LANDLORD-TENANT FEES

Signed into LawFiled Feb 5, 2026

Summary

The law forces landlords to list every non‑optional fee clearly in the rental advertisement and on the first page of the lease, and it bars a range of extra or “junk” fees. It also limits landlords to charging only one of a security deposit, a move‑in fee, or a move‑out fee, and it creates a civil right to sue for violations. The rule does not apply to owner‑occupied buildings with six or fewer units or to non‑residential leases, and it prevents local governments from setting weaker fee rules.
