Overview: AB 1248 - Hiring of real property: fees and charges.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to regulate the fees and charges that landlords can impose on tenants when renting real property.
Key Provisions:
- Prohibits landlords from charging tenants any fees or charges for the use of an automated clearing house or online payment system to pay rent
- Requires landlords to accept rent payments through these methods without additional fees
- Allows tenants to pursue legal action against landlords who violate the fee prohibition
Affected Parties and Impacts:
- Residential tenants, who will no longer be subject to fees for using convenient rent payment methods
- Residential landlords, who will be required to absorb the costs of processing automated or online rent payments
Procedural and Timeline Considerations:
The bill has been ordered to the inactive file at the request of the Assembly Member Haney, indicating that it is currently not progressing through the legislative process. If reintroduced and passed, the fee prohibition would take effect immediately.
