HB2105

Allows landlords to apportion charges to tenants for water and sewer utility service

Chamber Passed·3/9/26

Allows landlords to charge tenants for water and sewer services separately.

HB2105 permits landlords to charge tenants for water and sewer services based on individual usage or a mathematical formula. Landlords can use separate meters or a formula to allocate costs among tenants. The bill also allows landlords to charge late fees, which are considered rent, and to hire third-party billing providers. The total charges billed to tenants cannot exceed what the landlord is charged by the utility.
