Airing on KUER 90.1/ NPR Utah on August 28, 2024, Macy Lipkin interviews Ariel Nelson in coverage of rental housing junk fees and efforts to regulate them.

The Federal Trade Commission is considering a rule that would prohibit hidden or misleading fees for any business. Ariel Nelson, a staff attorney with the National Consumer Law Center, has seen an increase in rent-related fees around the country.

“It’s really important that they are regulated and included at the federal level because they are so prevalent, and they also harm low-income people and renters of color in particular.”
