Prohibits residential landlords from charging tenants with fees for the payment of rent through an automated clearing house or online payment system
This bill prohibits residential landlords from charging tenants any fees for paying rent using automated clearing house or online payment systems. It also ensures that landlords cannot require tenants to use electronic payments exclusively and must offer at least one free payment option, such as cash or personal checks. Any agreement where a tenant tries to waive these protections is declared invalid. The law applies immediately to all residential rental agreements.
