Bill Title: Amends the Landlord and Tenant Act. Adds provisions concerning rental fee transparency by requiring all non-optional fees, regardless of whether they are one-time fees or recurring fees, to be explicitly contained on the first page of a lease agreement. Provides that a tenant shall not be liable for payment of any fee that is not explicitly contained on the first page of the lease agreement. Requires a landlord to disclose in the lease agreement or unit listing whether utilities are included in the rent. Prohibits certain fees including: (i) a fee for a rental application or background check in excess of $50, with some exceptions; (ii) a fee or fine for modification or renewal of a lease agreement; (iii) a fee or fine for after-hours requests for maintenance service; (iv) a fee or fine for pest abatement or removal where the tenant has in no way contributed to the infestation; and other fees. Limits the concurrent exercise of home rule powers if inconsistent with the provisions of the amendatory Act. Provides that the amendatory Act applies to all lease agreements for residential rental property entered into after the effective date of the amendatory Act; and that a landlord may not rename a fee or charge to avoid application of the Act. Creates a civil action for any person alleging a violation of the rental fee transparency and fee ban provisions under the amendatory Act. Effective July 1, 2026.
