As if being an investment property owner in the Bay Area is bad enough. If a tenant with a criminal record murders someone else on the property is the owner of the property still have liability for renting to a ticking time bomb?

I will be looking forward to the stories of how badly this backfires on property owners.

I own an upscale apartment complex. I do anal background and credit checks to protect my renters and you would not believe how the women renters appreciate it. it’s a selling point for my apartments. They want to live in a safe apartment complex.
Wait until some woman is raped by a repeat sexual offender.
Why I built my apartments as condos. I can always sell them off.

Just wait until some pervert attacks a kid. The landlord will get sued for everything he owns. Does anyone remember why we have Megan’s law?

I foresee a lot of landlords getting out of the business.
The more presentable properties will go co-op or condo. The section 8 stuff will be abandoned for taxes.

BUT will they have to pass a background check to purchase a Firearm?

Yep just another small incremental step of total government control over the housing market.

Looks like rent is going to be going up... and the number of people willing to rent will be going waaaaay down.

A,couple of complexes not that far away went section 8.
Crime is up. Mostly thefts from what I gather from nextdoor’s app.
Car break ins top the list.
A very young girl got robbed at gunpoint for a smartphone.

We are living in an Idiocracy on steroids.

Squatters in Oakland breaking and entering vacant homes to claim as their own, and the libs smile and support that. Now landlords have to let scummy criminals rent their place. Democrat libs out of control. Here comes anarchy.
