This 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. The legislation clearly states that landlords are not allowed to impose such fees, ensuring that tenants can make their rental payments without incurring additional costs.

However, the bill includes a provision that exempts landlords who accept forms of payment that do not require a convenience fee. This means that if a landlord offers a payment method that is free of such fees, they are not subject to the prohibition outlined in this new section. Overall, the bill seeks to protect tenants from extra financial burdens associated with rental payments.
