Cities in America with the WORST Landlord Tenant policies

I was browsing through the forums and came across a thread started by a landlord in Portland, Oregon. Long story short, I discovered that Portland requires their Landlords to give tenants a 90 day notice anytime they wanted to make a change the terms on a month to month agreement. That was a bit of shock to me as we are only required to give a 30 day notice here in Cleveland, Ohio. As I read down further to my horror I saw this shocking fact. Anytime a landlord in Portland, Oregon chooses not to renew a tenant's lease they must pay that tenant a $4,500 relocation fee❗❗❗ 

THAT IS PURE MADNESS☠️☠️☠️ 

So let's do what we do on Bigger Pockets & open this sucker up. I wanna hear from other landlords out there. What cities in America have the WORST Landlord Tenant policies? Does anyone have any policies they can site that are worse than what the landlord I mentioned above is going through in Portland? Would love to hear from those living in the ultra liberal blue states. Can folks living in California, Maryland or Vermont put those Portland landlords to shame with their crazy landlord tenant policies?

i think the process goes a little like this:

Number of landlords < Number of tenants

Where < means "Vastly less than"

Corrupt politicians say "We have no legitimate reason to get involved between landlords and tenants in this situation but..."

Then they count votes and realize they can buy a hell of a lot of votes with other people's money without even directly taking it though taxation like a common ordinary thief... er... I mean politician.

It's evil but surprisingly clever for our largely useless bureaucratic class.
