"Lawmakers have enacted new regulations to protect tech customers from deceptive auto-renewal subscriptions and self-cleaning fees at short-term rental properties."
"The new auto-renewal law mandates companies to obtain explicit consent for subscriptions, ensuring annual reminders and simplified cancellation processes for consumers."
"Consumer advocates have criticized auto-renewal practices, arguing that companies often create complicated cancellation processes that benefit them financially at the expense of the consumer."
"Beginning July 1, guests using short-term rental services like Airbnb will have protections regarding cleaning fees, aimed at ensuring fair treatment."
New state laws will protect consumers by enforcing regulations against auto-renewal subscriptions, restricting deceptive practices, and mandating explicit customer consent for renewals. Companies must now provide annual reminders about subscriptions and easier cancellation methods. Additionally, guests at short-term rentals such as Airbnb and Vrbo will benefit from new cleaning fee regulations starting July 1. These changes come as a response to consumer advocacy efforts highlighting the need for greater transparency and fairness in subscription services and rental agreements.
