Such BS anyway, winters out here aren't harsh at all.. At least not compared to 80% of the rest of the country.

King County now telling Seatthell and Olympia to hold it's beer. Holy shit. If you're a landlord in King County sell before this crap goes into effect.
https://www.seattletimes.com/business/r ... evictions/ Quote: The county proposal would limit the reasons landlords in unincorporated areas of the county could evict tenants or decline to renew their leases. The bill would also require more advance notice for many rent hikes, cap extra fees and narrow the use of Social Security numbers for screening tenants. The changes would be permanent, lasting beyond current pandemic-related eviction moratoriums. Quote: “It’s not like we’re saying landlords can’t evict,” said Councilmember Jeanne Kohl-Welles, who sponsored the legislation with Councilmembers Girmay Zahilay and Dave Upthegrove. “It’s just: You want to evict this person? Have a valid reason. Don’t just do something willy-nilly because you don’t like someone.”  Quote: The law would cap move-in fees and security deposits at one month’s rent and allow those to be paid in installments. Late fees would be capped at 1.5%. And landlords would be required to give 120 days’ notice for rent increases greater than 3%. If a landlord violated the new county laws, a tenant could sue for up to three times their rent as damages. Pretty sure democrats get a waiver for economics and math in highschool now. Quote: Landlords testified against the proposed new rules at recent council meetings, arguing the patchwork of different regulations is difficult to track across multiple city and state laws. The rules can discourage landlords from operating, they said. Some said they worry just-cause provisions will make it harder to remove tenants who are a nuisance to their neighbors. “We’re not evil,” said Renton landlord Nora Schultz at a council meeting this month. “It’s very disconcerting the way that this business has been treated by the state and by local authorities for the last three years.” Property owners are now reduced to pleading that "they are not evil" in council testimony... That's where we are. Quote: Under the county proposal, landlords could request — but not require — prospective tenants to provide Social Security numbers. The provision is meant to protect renters who are undocumented and may not have a Social Security number. Landlords have argued the provision limits their ability to accurately vet future renters. ... “Our intent is not to ban credit screenings, neither is the reality that we’re banning credit screenings,” Zahilay told his colleagues at a meeting last week. “Our intent is to protect undocumented people who are at high risk of homelessness.” Let's not forget to protect illegal alien criminals while we're at it! And the final insult? Free lawyers paid for by taxpayers (in the county that means landlords (property owners) are literally paying for the lawyers to fight them in court) but the evil landlords have to pay for their own lawyers. Quote: The county would also allow public defenders to represent tenants facing eviction if funding became available. Councilmember Kathy Lambert has argued landlords should also be able to get public representation, but other council members have shown little appetite for that change. Looks like the dems will get their wish, a sell-off of rental properties leading to a "rental crisis" they created, which will then let them raise taxes and create public housing projects upon which those voters will be dependent on them. _________________ If you vote for Biden you are voting to be murdered when he sends Beto to come take your "semi automatic assault weapon" (any semi auto).

I predict that landlords will simply abandon the properties if they can't sell them.

The cheaper the better. When I sold a condo a few years ago, half the buyers who submitted offers were Chinese. |

When rent continues to rise and new units fail to materialize will they even ask why?

To be fair
Shouldn't there be a moratorium on property taxes while there's a moratorium on evictions? If landlords are expected to eat the loss why shouldn't the government? Oh, man. I kill me sometimes _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |

The largest administrative taking in US history continues. The Biden admin says they have found "new legal justification" for continuing the moratorium. In reality they are terrified of the mid-terms and want to keep the inflation supported gravy train flowing past November of next year. I wonder of they'll make it.

I’m confused...
People were able to continuously receive unemployment, without even having the qualifier of ‘searching for employment’. They also received an extra $300/week, for whatever reason. On top of that, their commuting costs, whether by car or public transportation, fell to virtually nothing. They also didn’t have to pay for babysitters or childcare, either. They claim to be making more now, thus the reasoning for not returning to work. So, if they are making more money than they did before, and their expenses are less, why can’t they pay the rent? |

The housing market is high right now. And although I've had good experiences as a landlord, I'm selling my rental house right now with zero second thoughts.

WE still have one rental but wouldn't surprise me if we in turn sell soon. At this point might be better to have the cash in hand.
right now we have tenants that have paid through the whole covid thing and have been in there for something like 5 years.

I have the best tenant in the world, and he's been there for six years. I did a lot of apologizing in my email to him, but it just didn't make sense to hold onto it. _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.
