	"description": "The cost of living is out of control, especially in housing. We must stop landlords from charging us additional fees just for doing their jobs. Move-in fees that landlords keep in full are being charged in place of or, even worse, in addition to security deposits with zero accountability. Many of these mandatory fees are buried deep in long leases too and come as a complete surprise after we&#x27;ve moved in. It&#x27;s time for a change. Join us in saying to the leaders of the General Assembly and to the governor that we need relief now. HB 3564, the Rental Transparency and Fairness Act, would put an end to 10 junk fees charged by landlords, including many fees that are just for them to do their jobs in maintaining their own property, limit the size of application fees and move-in fees, stop the practice of letting landlords charge both a move-in fee and a security deposit, and would force landlords to put all mandatory fees on the front page of the lease for complete transparency. In a time when we&#x27;re under literal assault by federal forces here in Illinois, it&#x27;s also all the more important that we keep people safely housed and help those that are homeless to get into housing. This bill will be sure to help with doing just that and has been endorsed by housing leaders across the state for doing so. We have a chance to pass this bill this month in the Fall Veto Session, Oct 14-16 and 28-30, but President Harmon, Speaker Welch, and Governor Pritzker need to hear from you about how important this is. Will you join us in demanding housing justice this fall?",
