Penalty Amount
$100,000
Domuso, Inc., a rent payment processor, settled with the Colorado Attorney General for charging illegal surcharges on credit/debit card rent payments. The settlement requires Domuso to cap fees at 2%, end fee-sharing with properties, provide cost-free payment options, and pay $100,000. The company must also comply with Colorado's surcharge and junk fees laws.
Domuso must cap Certified Funds Fees at 2% of total payment, end all fee-sharing or revenue-sharing agreements with Colorado properties, provide a cost-free payment option reasonably accessible to all consumers, support continued acceptance of paper checks, and pay $100,000 to the state. It must also provide annual compliance reports for two years detailing Colorado properties, payment methods, and fees.
In-house legal teams should review vendor agreements with payment processors, property management agreements, and any fee-sharing arrangements. Specifically, check clauses related to surcharge fees, disclosure requirements, revenue sharing, and compliance with state consumer protection laws. Ensure that any percentage-based fees are capped and disclosed, and that cost-free payment alternatives are offered. Also review contracts for indemnification and compliance with junk fees laws.
