The purpose of the "End Junk Fees for Renters Act" is to protect tenants from excessive and unfair fees associated with renting a home. The legislation aims to make renting more affordable and transparent by prohibiting certain fees that landlords can charge tenants. Key provisions of the Act include several important rules for landlords. First, landlords cannot charge application fees or tenant screening fees when someone applies to rent a unit. This means that potential renters will not have to pay upfront costs just to be considered for a rental property.
