Ron DeSantis (R) has signed an industry-backed bill that will allow Florida landlords to charge renters a monthly nonrefundable fee in lieu of a deposit that opponents of the bill say is predatory and meant to exploit renters. The bill, H.B. 133, places no cap on the fee — which critics have compared to junk fees — meaning that landlords could charge as much as they choose.
