At our greater cleveland landlord meeting tonight we hopefully have 2 council people coming to explain details of the new for 2024 rules, one that perked up my antennas is a vacant house registration - my interpretation is if the tenant does not leave the house in re-rentable condition they will be on the hook for this fee. 2 area cities are charging 250bux for this registration fee. This will intertwine with our lead safe rules that cover a house must have a lead-safe registration before renting. A twist here is if damaged areas are those tested for lead clearence then the repairs will include a new lead clearance test (these tests cost 850 at this time). Ohio does not have a cap on deposit but or late housing court judg suggested in 2005 with the rising cost of court approved rental repairs the deposit should be raised to a double deposit which will barely cover smoke remediation alone without broken cabinets, doors, or other repairs - now needing to be raised to cover the vacant house fee encircling our responsibility in offering rental housing - hiking rental cost, contributing to housing shortages in our city. --184.59.xxx.xx

Voting will do nothing, but if you must, then write in your own name because you are just as qualified. If you don’t agree with the way things are going in this country at this point and you don’t do anything about it, You are the problem. Let me repeat that, You are now the problem! Not them. It’s the average American, who just grabs his ankles and doesn’t do anything that is the problem. --24.152.xxx.xx

It’s actually a war on tenants, but those passing the laws don’t understand that. Every time they make a new tax or fee or law that costs or handcuffs the LL, the LL just passes it along to the tenants by way of higher rents. --64.38.xxx.xxx

Yes, it has become normal for Government entities the last 3-4 years. You can cite any number of indicators from rent control to weaponizing the DOJ as cited in my earlier post. In reality, it is a broader attack against the free market but landlords are at more of a disadvantage in fending it off because we don’t have a powerful lobbying group like most industries. I know I have stepped up my contributions to the nonprofits that continue to fight legally against a government and president bent on trampling property rights. --107.77.xxx.xx

Tenants are better paying market rent than above market rent where when the supply goes down than rent goes up. Most the criticism comes from the extreme left wing government funded groups who hate along with vilify rental housing providers.I remember the time went down to housing ministers office then asked why is the provincial government funding where in few months the provincial government stopped funding where they went defunct. One them was homeowner who sold his home in Ottawa then moved to Toronto where the city continued funding then he bought another house. In hostile environment apartments above stores are converted to commercial along the secondary housing market goes down where houses, townhouses and condominiums are sold to become owner occupied. Tenants who get evicted find they can not start another eviction as they fail a thorough credit check on all adults. Housing as a last resort (Community Housing)formally called the Housing Authority. Lets look who supports good paying jobs in local communities and buys locally not the third world countries. --207.236.xxx.xxx

All the post on here. --76.129.xxx.xx

Should there have been more support on January 6th? --76.129.xxx.xx

Jan 6 was a trap set by a couple of evil chess players in the HOuse. I saw most of it on cspan. Cops encouraging protestors to come in and then telling them to run in the halls. Apparently there was enough evidence to examine the election results and the big Ds had to find a way to stop that so they used the protestors themselves to create chaos. It's always like this when the Ds are in power. Either they fund a war or stir up the unions or racial tensions. NOrmally the next vote can get rid of them but now they are using the machines. Mike Lindell has worked hard to get rid of the machines. SCOTUS has a case about Arizona's problems that has gone our way and the results should be announced this week. He needs funds though. I sent 75 bucks to his fund to pay lawyers to keep going after the bad machines. If you have an extra one maybe drop over to frankspeech and help out. He says he is out of money. . --173.61.xxx.xxx

California used to allow a landlord to collect two months rent as a security deposit for an unfurnished property . as of June one 2024 the maximum security deposit you can collect is one months rent. As always, this will backfire against the people is trying to help and that the marginal tenants, who could pay two months rent for security deposit won’t be considered. --169.150.xxx.xx

The alternative solution for states like California and New York is to build apartments on boats. When the rent control gets out of control, hook the boat up to a tug, and tow your apartments to Texas or Florida! Rent control gone! LOL --201.140.xxx.xx

Commercial landlords weren’t exempt when business tenants were shut down for the made up excuse of being deemed “non-essential” during the scamdemic. They did it once using fake reasons, they will do it again. I give MAJOR PROPS to the ones who refused to close. --174.240.xxx.xx

The number of SFH available for rent has dropped, lots of small landlords selling when the house comes vacant --76.138.xxx.xxx

Phil, you referring to the fake & staged “insurrection”? --174.240.xxx.xx

Some insurrection. Looked more like a tourist group. Fake news did the narrative about insurrection. Ashley's murder remains unpunished. --172.58.xxx.xxx

Sealing of eviction records would get me. Since my tenants are my employees, what is next - no screening of employees? --24.101.xxx.xxx

I guess that's what happens when we have 1 vote against hundreds. Who are the politicians going to rail against? --173.63.xxx.xx

Ray, NY has already passed no screening of employees. Its cakes the "Clean Slate" act. Bc Employers are clamoring to hire felons, errr I mean misdemeanor mistake makers. --64.246.xxx.xxx

I'm with you sid!!! I'm downsizing the residential side, getting more commercial. Adding another piece of the a retail strip mail. Dance studio and restaurant... --170.203.xxx.xxx
