I'm with Mayor Selby on this.
As I read this proposed "solution in search of a problem" I kept thinking of the term "nanny state". Yes, we need government regulation in some areas, and in many areas we need more, like banking and water pollution. But this is an area that does not need more regulation. In fact, new regulations imposed in recent years are onerous. And our local legislators promise more.
This is largely window-dressing. An inspection of every rental unit every five years? How effective will that be between inspections?
The good landlords and their tenants will be imposed on in order to get the bad landlords.
Very disappointing.
