A new Nevada bill, A.B. 121, is seeking to protect renters from hidden fees and ensure landlords are transparent about all monthly rental costs. Assemblymember Venicia Considine brought back the bill, which aims to prevent deceptive advertising practices in the rental housing market. The bill would require landlords to disclose all fees upfront before tenants sign a lease and pay a deposit, including electronic portal fees. Considine stated that renters often face unexpected fees that can add significant costs to their monthly rent without the ability to opt out. The Nevada State Apartment Association supports greater transparency in rental housing fees but has raised concerns about certain provisions in the bill. The Federal Trade Commission has taken legal action against Clark County landlords for similar practices, with Invitation Homes agreeing to pay $48 million in a settlement. Greystar, another property management company, is also facing a lawsuit from the FTC. The bill aims to protect renters and hold landlords accountable for undisclosed fees.
