Keep voting democrat...
Oh! And one of the psychos on the city council wants to outlaw evictions during the winter. What could go wrong?
Nope. They want to drag everyone down into their misery so they dont feel lonely.
The insane elect the insane. Seriously,
Then they will do rent control. There is no end to their evil.
They are not Socialist! (They are Communist!)
Plank #1 of the Communist Manifesto: Abolition of private property rights.
So basically when the rent comes due and the person doesnt pay and then it takes a month for an eviction process, said person can just up and go somewhere else, walk in, and keep repeating the process rent free.
MADNESS !
So if I were to have Seattle rentals I would not longer ‘advertise’.
I would ‘ask around’, let my circle of friends know I ‘might’ have an open unit ‘soon’...but nothing ‘definite’.
Better to have an empty unit than one that is being destroyed.
he or she, cmon lets be fair, plenty of gals have criminal records.
This law is intended that a landlord doesn't set aside the applicant(s) hoping for somebody better.
And once you try to evict your deadbeat tenants, the same bureaucrats that forced you to rent to them in the first place now make it almost impossible for you to evict them.
Oh yeah, rent to the first person who applies?
Are they nuts?
If that person seems like a good safe bet sure.
In that quest of the perfect dreamland, I think there are some nightmares waiting to happen.
Hard for me to feel sorry for landlords in Leftist cities like Seattle. Seriously, how did they think it would end, with that bunch. The writing was there, just as it was with Hitler’s extermination camps, but if the soon-to-be victims refuse to see it and take action (in this case selling their properties while it was still possible), then they will suffer the consequences.
By the way, if a city like Austin tried that stunt here in Texas (if it is even legal), our Legislature would be called into emergency session and quickly put them in their place...which is why you don’t see Leftist cities here enacting gun control - won’t happen as long as Republicans rule the state (and that will be for far longer than many here believe).
Same thing.
You get what you vote for, good and hard.
I have sworn I will never own another rental property ever again. Did that 7 years ago. Burned the house. Got tired of people asking to rent it.
these kinds of laws pretty much guarantee rentals will completely dry up as owners of big complexes sell them out as condos, and small landlords sell individual properties for home ownership ...
Id make it 760, require a college degree, a two month deposit, and provide proof of employment; all to be provided up-front at time of interest with a $200 deposit to be included for verify the information provided (fully refundable in first months rent if everything proves to be valid.
At least then, Id feel a little better about whom I renting too; except in a liberal like that, the degree could possibly be in something useless like Transgender Dolphin Relationship Studies
