Illinois HB5234 regulates landlord fees, requiring transparency and limiting certain charges.
HB5234 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act to mandate landlords to clearly disclose all non-optional fees in property listings and leases. It prohibits landlords from charging bundled services fees that combine optional and non-optional fees. The bill also bans specific fees, such as application fees exceeding $50, after-hours maintenance requests, and pest abatement fees when tenants are not responsible for the infestation. Landlords can only charge one of the following: a security deposit, a move-in fee, or a move-out fee.
