Have you ever gotten to the end of a stay in an AirBnb or Vrbo and realized you actually had a lot of cleaning to do? In the future, a new state law should give you more notice.

That鈥檚 because Governor Gavin Newsom signed a package of consumer protection bills Tuesday, touching on vacation rentals, overdraft fees and credit scores.

One is going to require short-term rental listings to include all chores, and the fees you鈥檇 have to pay for not completing them, so you know before you book.

Co-author Marc Berman is a Democratic Assembly member from Palo Alto. He said a surprise chore list can ruin a vacation.

鈥淭hese chores are also often on top of substantial cleaning fees, and if you鈥檝e ever looked at the cleaning fees, they鈥檙e astronomical,鈥 he said.

Newsom also that will prevent medical debt from affecting your credit score.

will require that businesses get your consent before automatically renewing subscriptions, and if you want to cancel, you have to be able to do it the same way you subscribed.

That means no long waits over the phone to cancel something you subscribed to online.

A new laws will restrict banks and credit unions the state regulates from charging some overdraft fees.
