this popped up for me today. Wondering what peoples thoughts are on the effects this will have on the Seattle market. Hopefully no other city follows but unfortunately once one starts it can set off a chain reaction.

That ironic since winters in Seattle are like spring in many other places

Mayor can veto yet & definitely will be court tested by landlord association

    @Andrew Brewer

    Would this law be only applicable to landlords who own more than 4 rental properties?

    Sounds like something Oakland will enact.
