$60 Rental Registration Fee Portland OR

[Derrick Aragon]

What does eveyone think about this fee??

I received the below info in an email today thought I would pass it along and see what other thought about the fee.

Below is a link to a news story on KATU regarding the proposed $60 Rental Registration Fee

https://katu.com/news/local/city-of-portland-set-to-vote-on-rental-unit-registration-fee

"The fee is designed to fund the city’s Rental Services Office. The Council indicated that the fee is the “first step” in a comprehensive monitoring of rental units city-wide & alluded to mandatory inspections by the city in the future, among other things. The majority of the testimony was against the fee. It was suggested that if the fee is to fund the Rental Services Office, which primarily provides support for tenants, that perhaps tenants should participate in the fee.

The City Council did not vote yesterday so if you’d like to provide your feedback you can email your comments.
