This micro-managing is destroying landlord/tenant relationship and treating tenants like small, helpless children, and landlords like criminals. The answer is to educate tenants and landlords and treat all as responsible human beings. The rent registry is outrageous and unnecessary. Stick with 5% and unit registry.
How can you move forward without this plan? Auditors Report Recommendation #15: To ensure customers are provided necessary services, the Housing Department should develop a strategic plan for the Rental Rights and Referrals Program that outlines desired goals and outcomes, and establishes measures of program effectiveness.
No extra staffing until we see results. Why should we pay for Housing people who are always pro-tenant? It is easy for Housing to look good to tenants when they are spending our money and making landlord life more difficult. How about working toward a balanced and fair process first?
Opposed to extra staff without showing benefit. $4 milllion to start; will soon be $10 million; money would be better spent to directly help low-income people. Object is not to increase Housing staff who complicate life and make more regulations; getting more people WILL NOT help because the people there aren't doing their job anyway. Check now; are there any petitions since Just Cause was passed?
This is ridiculous. It doesn't help tenants or property owners. It only makes things more difficult for everyone by having to navigate through the already complicated processes.
Why should property owners pay for additional bureaucracy they did not want or wish to create? If tenants want this then they should pay for it. Honestly I don't think property owners or tenants want this and the only people that do is the housing department. They want to grow and justify their jobs.

Use the fee to help renters in need.... Housing Department makes everyone's life harder by only benefiting itself.
