Bill > SB369

This bill, which is supplemental to the residential landlord and tenant act, requires landlords to provide prospective tenants with written disclosures before accepting any application fees or payments, including an estimate of rent and all fixed and use-based expenses, the unit's availability date, and the criteria used for tenant eligibility, such as credit, income, and rental history. It also places restrictions on late rent fees, limiting them to a maximum of 5% of the periodic rent, prohibiting increases based on previously imposed late fees, and allowing them only after a tenant has at least five days past the due date to pay. If a landlord violates these provisions, tenants or prospective tenants can be released from any rental agreement without penalty, and in cases of disclosure violations, landlords must also return all money paid by the prospective tenant and pay an equal penalty amount.
