Junk Fee Act Compliance: Displaying The True Cost of Leasing to Renters

Join Kerry W. Kirby and Jimmy Lancaster, the masterminds behind the Multifamily Tech Gurus Podcast Series, as they discuss the Junk Fee Act for Rental Housing, which is designed to bring greater transparency and fairness to the rental process and ensure that renters are not caught off guard by unexpected costs, through requiring clear disclosure of all fees upfront.

In this episode, Kerry and Jimmy dive into the potential implications of the Junk Fee Act, as they explore the types of fees it targets and discuss how multifamily housing operators might adapt their practices through disclosing those fees at various stages of the process – starting with marketing. They discuss how providing this level of transparency from the beginning can benefit renters and cause operators to streamline their fee structures.

Kerry and Jimmy’s Words of Wisdom: “By shedding light on the true cost of renting from the start, we’re not just meeting a regulation—we’re building trust and reshaping renter expectations. The Junk Fee Act challenges us to redefine what transparency really means in multifamily housing. It’s about turning what used to be hidden costs into a clear, upfront commitment to our renters, making sure they know exactly what to expect from day one.”
