An Act to regulate junk fees in rental housing and advance housing production
House: Bill reported favorably by committee and referred to the committee on House Ways and Means
Summary
The bill caps the amounts landlords can require from tenants before they move in, bans hidden or optional fees for lease renewals, and imposes steep penalties for violations. It also promotes housing production by reducing parking requirements near transit, directing redevelopment of underused land, and prioritizing low‑ and moderate‑income housing on publicly owned property. The goal is to make renting cheaper and increase the overall housing supply.
