Directs the division of housing and community renewal to study non-rental fees charged by landlords
This bill directs the Division of Housing and Community Renewal to conduct a study on non-rental fees charged by landlords of rent-regulated housing. The study must gather data on common fees, their amounts, how they are calculated, and any other relevant information before submitting a report to the legislature by April 1, 2025. The legislation affects landlords of regulated apartments and tenants who may be subject to these additional charges, though it does not ban or change the fees themselves. Ultimately, the bill requires the state agency to investigate these practices and provide findings to lawmakers, but it was vetoed by the governor and did not become law.
