Boise City Council Member Proposes New Rules Restricting Rental Fees

via Facebook

As Boise’s housing market becomes more and more competitive, how is that impacting renters? The current vacancy rate for rentals in Boise is 3.74%, and the average rent is $1,450. That’s according to Keller Williams Realty

 

We’ve heard about some possibly predatory practices among landlords that impose high fees on renters as they try to find housing. Boise City Council member Lisa Sanchez joins Idaho Matters to talk about her new proposal to regulate the fees some landlords are charging renters in the application process.
