BILL SUMMARY - As introduced, Bill 26-595 would require housing providers to provide prospective tenants with a list of all applicable charges for renting the rental unit, a description of the method that the housing provider will use to allocate charges for the utility to a tenant and allow tenants to periodically request a copy of the utility provider's bill to the housing provider. Among other things, it would also require that housing providers include in a lease a description of the method that the housing provider will use to allocate charges for a utility to the tenant.
