Good evening Mayor and City Council, my name is Mia Alansari and I live in Ward 3 and Iam
the Environmental Action and Sustainability Chair for the Fayetteville Youth AdvisoryCouncil.
If you have lived in Fayetteville, you have seen rental and housing prices have increased
substantially. As representatives ofthe youth, we representthe ages of those who will soon be
entering the housing market, so we feel this issue pertains stronglyto us.
We feel that the City Council agenda item Disclosure of Rental Fees and Costs would be very
beneficial as these hidden fees could greatly impact us on our housing search while finding
something affordable and accessible. Hidden fees plague the housing market and make it
inaccessible for renters in our community. As we go into the working world and learn how to
budget, hidden fees could completely derail our budget and disincentivize us to stay in the City
of Fayetteville.
At the March 10, 2025 Fayetteville Youth Advisory Council meeting, our council voted to
forward a recommendation of approval for this agenda item to you all.
Thank you on the behalf of the Fayetteville Youth Advisory Council for your time and have a
good evening.
