One year ago, AffordableHousing.com partnered with the White House to introduce rental fee transparency on our platform. This initiative was part of a larger effort which included a July 19, 2023, White House announcement to crack down on junk fees in the rental market.  

Supported by AffordableHousing.com and other major platforms, this effort has been adopted by many other listing websites and prompted some states to implement regulations on fee transparency in rental housing ads. Read more from the White House here.

Your community can rely on AffordableHousing.com to provide a fair and compliant platform for housing searches. Soon we will fulfill another commitment announced by the White House by deploying compliant “eLease” templates to automate lease creation, signature collection, and checklist reminders. This simplifies lease management, saving time and effort for owners and renters.

This commitment, and many others that AffordableHousing.com is dedicated to, aligns with the principles outlined in the White House Blueprint for a Renter Bill of Rights. Our ongoing initiatives, such as the Trusted Owner Badge, underscore our dedication to promoting fairness, transparency, and accessibility in the housing market.
