STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27641 / H0462
The purpose of this legislation is to define a process for a landlord and tenant to conduct a walkthrough of the
premises being rented by the tenant at the time of move in and move out. It also establishes reasonable limits
on fees and assessment to ensure housing is available in the market for all people. Since housing acts as a
wage and healthy subsidy for employers and our community, these provisions help employees and community
members to reasonably afford housing and understand their obligations and rights under the law.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no fiscal impact on the general fund, because this bill establishes transparent processes to assess
damages and fees between private property owners and tenants. Some property owners may see a slight decrease
in revenue due to establishing reasonable limits on late fees.
