Lawmakers again asked to stop surprise fees in rental agreements

Supporters say the fees can make a huge difference in affordability to low-income renters.

(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) Rep. Marsha Judkins, R-Provo, is trying once again to pass legislation that would halt surprise charges to renters. HB68 would require landlords to provide upfront disclosure of all fees and charges before the signing of a rental agreement. A similar bill died last year in the final hours of the legislative session.
