So in effect, the law will
a) Make it harder and more expensive for a landlord to upkeep a home.
b) Charge homeowners (landlords) for more government intrusion in the form of inspections.

Do you honestly think costs will not be passed along to tenants?
Does anyone actually think this will encourage a homeowner to rent out property and not shrink the rental market?
Is there anyone at all in this city that understands basic economics on at least a fifth grade level?

D, you are a fuckin' capitalist pig.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm all for renters rights, but um ... I ... damn right I am.

This was the front page story on "Apartment Manager Monthly" in August. I didn't read the article because I'm not a slumlord, and I figured this would mostly affect people east of about 81st Avenue. But I did notice the $8-$10 fee per unit and immediately foresaw sending all of my tenants a rental increase letter. Sorry guys. It isn't me.
Sarah Mirk writes that "everyone's got crazy landlord stories," but it's too bad that the very small percentage of extremely negligent cases are causing you to pay even more rent in an already tight market.
As an aside, the general concensus is that mold is caused by the tenants 90-95% of the time, not the evil landlord.

And the landlord can still evict you for complaining. And the police will still violently remove you from the premises if you try to stand up for your self with a rent strike--but hey, now you get to pay more rent so a guy can come and look around your house.

Yay!

So are room rentals and owners who happen to live onsite exempt from the proposed codes and $10 tax?

And why are non-profits exempt from the tax? Non-profits seem just as likely to suffer from bad management and failed maintenance. If the one-time fee is not really a significant tax burden then shouldn't non-profits pay their fair share just as they would pay for any utility?

@ kyle

Thumbs up to a basic necessity (read: shelter) being face raped by bureaucracy.

Tenants will have to pay for this. That is the only problem. What will happen is, both good and bad landlords, will be hurt by this and many will give up and sell their homes to homeowners, thus reducing the number of available rental stock in the city. Supply and demand tells us that the price will go up.

Further, people living in these "extreme" conditions are usually there because the rental unit is cheap. So, are we really "helping" them by forcing the landlord to make their units more rentable? Because if these landlords do this, they would be able to raise the rents. How would this help low income families?

this site is very appreciate. they may be very expensive of homeowner. this site is most develop in the site.
