End Junk Fees for Renters Act
Key claim: The End Junk Fees for Renters Act (HR4100) was referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity in the 119th Congress.
Abstract
(HR4100 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-12-19): Referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity.
Why this matters
Rental junk fees (application, convenience, screening, and administrative charges) are a growing focus of federal housing policy alongside state-level activity. Tracking HR4100 matters because even a stalled referral establishes a policy marker that shapes how HUD, CFPB, and the FTC frame renter fee transparency. The bill’s status is early-stage, so effects on renters and landlords remain hypothetical.
