S1039 is now law!

S1039, the bill which will ensure rental fees are transparent and reasonable passed the House 44-24 and was signed by the Governor today!

I'm grateful to everyone who supported this bill, including the Idaho Asset Building Network (IABN), National Association of Property Managers and Realtors (NARPM), and the Idaho Apartment Association (IAA), as well as my co-sponsors Representatives Hill and Erickson and Senators Ricks and Trakel.

Renters being charged exorbitant fees is a big problem in our communities. One renter was charged a $300 pet fee for a praying mantis their kid had, which their landlord refused to waive. This story among many others’ helped push the bill over the line and through the House.

After a long road working on this issue, I’m very proud. This bill will be helpful to so many.
