The proposed bill aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 37-6-32, which specifically prohibits landlords from charging convenience fees for rental payments made by tenants. This legislation is designed to protect tenants from additional costs associated with their rental payments, ensuring that they are not burdened by extra fees that can arise from certain payment methods.

The bill includes a provision that exempts landlords who accept forms of payment that do not incur a convenience fee, thereby allowing for flexibility in payment options. Overall, the intent of this bill is to enhance tenant rights and promote fair rental practices within the state of West Virginia.
