Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am writing to you to express my opposition to the proposal to force landlords to provide mandatory relocation assistance to departing tenants.
I’m not a landlord or apartment owner. Just a taxpaying citizen.
But I don’t think it should be the role of a municipal government to regulate the economic relationships between two voluntarily contracting parties.
It will just further distort the market, and will cause landlords to pass the costs on to other existing and future renters.
The city shouldn’t be in the business of favoring one class of residents over another.
Thank you for your consideration.
Blake Campbell
