Fees, Move-In Costs, and Notice of Rent Increase

Landlords must now give you notice between 210 and 180 days before they plan to raise the rent. They have to give you a 2nd notice between 120 and 90 days before the rent increase takes effect. 

• If you don’t pay rent on time, landlords can’t charge more than $10 per month as a late fee.

The total for all move-in costs (deposit and other fees) can’t be more than the amount of  one month’s rent.

The pet damage deposit can’t be more than 25% of the first month’s rent and must be refundable if the unit has no pet damage. 

Landlords can’t charge other non-refundable fees, except as specifically allowed under state law.
