Interesting Anti-Landlord Ordinance Approved in Seattle

[Ana Marie B.]

Curious what others think of this new pro-renter ordinance approved in Seattle.  Would this make you think twice before investing in Seattle RE?

In a nutshell, this ordinance aims to ban "discrimination by landlords against renters with alternative sources of income, such as Social Security benefits, veteran’s benefits, unemployment insurance, child-support payments and other assistance programs. The ordinance also will require landlords to review applications one at a time, then pick the first renter who meets their screening criteria."
