i think this:

"attend mandatory "training session" for $50"

A nuisance. :P But fine. I mean landlords SHOULD know the nuisance laws.

"requires landlords to run background checks"

Should be standard operating procedure anyway.

"it can only take 1 time for the cops to stop by your property for it to become a nuisance"

Unbelievable.

My experience has been that local politicians ie city council members are some of the most stupid, short sighted and incompetent of all politicians.
