The No Hidden Rent Act applies to apartment listings and lease agreements. Fees for services such as amenities, utilities and trash can add 10% to 30% to a renter’s monthly costs, according to an analysis by the Urban Institute Initiative.

The measure also gives tenants the right to end a lease early without penalty if required fees were not disclosed. Landlords could not evict tenants for failing to pay fees that had not been revealed.

District 5 Supervisor Bilal Mahmood introduced the legislation in June. He said at an Oct. 5 meeting that renters should be able to see the full price before committing to a home, just as consumers generally see the price of a plane or concert ticket before buying.

Mahmood said the law would not solve San Francisco’s housing crisis but could help renters compare options and plan for costs. Rents have risen 26% year over year, according to the report, and Mayor Daniel Lurie declared a rent emergency last month.

Mahmood said San Francisco would be the first California city to require landlords to advertise a total estimated rental cost. San Diego’s City Council has proposed a similar ordinance that would disclose and cap recurring monthly fees.

At an earlier hearing, Peter Hosey of Indivisible SF supported stronger action, saying that add-on charges can leave renters paying more than the price they were initially shown. He argued that the fees should be eliminated altogether.
