H.946 is a bill introduced by Representative Logan of Burlington that aims to enhance transparency in residential rental agreements regarding utility costs. The bill mandates that landlords must clearly and accurately advertise the utilities for which tenants are responsible, as well as those included in the rent. Additionally, this information must be documented within the rental agreement to ensure tenants are fully informed about their financial obligations.

Furthermore, the bill encourages landlords to provide individual metering for utilities in separate dwelling units, or to implement measures that ensure tenants are only charged for their actual utility usage. This provision is intended to promote fairness and accountability in utility billing, ultimately benefiting tenants by preventing unexpected costs associated with shared utilities.
