Nevada Assembly Democrats are discussing their priorities for the state's housing market.
The lawmakers talked about eviction reform, rental fees and more protections for renters.
They also brought housing advocates to help voice their message.
"We cannot wait for supply to correct itself," said Ben Iness, Coalition Coordinator, Nevada Housing Justice Alliance. "We don't have time. Our communities don't have time. For 5, 10, 15 years to wait to slowly build and for this to correct itself and level out."
Lawmakers brought up a multitude of bills that tackle different aspects.
One was centered around hidden rental fees.
"Assembly Bill 121 that was brought last session and vetoed, it requires that your rent is one number. So, there are no hidden fees that you are required to pay that you've never heard before," said Assemblymember Venicia Considine, (D) Las Vegas. "It also allows you to see the lease before you sign it, so you can make sure there are no hidden fees, you know what you're looking at."
That bill and AB 223 were moved out work session in the Assembly Commerce and Labor Committee, to make its way down to the assembly floor soon.
AB121, was also in the last legislative session, but it was vetoed by Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo.
Considine says that changes were made to this new version of the bill, hoping that the Governor signs it if it reaches his desk again.
The other bill that made its way through, AB223, is trying to focus on holding landlords more accountable if they fail to fix up a rental property after 15 judicial days of first notification.
We reached out to the Nevada Assembly Republicans for comment.
"Nevada already has some of the toughest laws in the nation protecting consumers from bad landlords, and these bills proposed by the left are overly burdensome and, quite honestly, unnecessary," said Assembly Minority Leader Gregory Hafen, (R) District 36.
Other bills that were mentioned, focused on eviction reform.
Those pieces of legislation were heard at the Assembly Committee of Judiciary, Wednesday morning.
AB201 would allow for more circumstances where people could seal their eviction records.
AB283 would allow tenants a chance to fight an eviction after the notice is given.
While Democrats do have majority in both the state senate and assembly, these bills will have to get approval from the Governor before they can go into law.
