Renters can see various charges from their landlord that were not part of the initial advertisement price, from $10 for pest control to around $80 for maintenance of common areas.
Utah’s Division of Consumer Protection has termed these “junk fees” — hidden or deceptive costs tacked onto the advertised price of a good or service — along with fees in other industries like hospitality, entertainment and food delivery.
The Salt Lake Tribune wants to hear from you about what you pay in rent and fees.
Are extra fees more or less than $100? What do they cover? Do they vary from month to month?
