New federal law mandates upfront display of all fees by Airbnb, VRBO, and Ticketmaster to curb hidden charges.

A new federal law will require short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO, as well as ticket companies such as Ticketmaster, to display total fees upfront, making hidden charges illegal. While additional fees are still allowed, they must be disclosed before booking. This rule, proposed in October 2023, aims to address consumer complaints about unexpected charges and will take effect within 120 days.
