upcoming rental legislation

[Jason Mizell]

Anyone in Arkansas know anything about the House bill HB 1410 that is being voted on soon?  I'm in Little Rock and wondering what kind of effect it might have on my rental properties?

@Beau Fannon you need to read closer and understand politics and legislation.  As one example of many issues within this Bill, What is the legal definition of "reasonably safe"?  Who gets to decide this, the tenant, the landlord, a prosecutor, a tenants rights advocate or free legal aid lawyer or the hundreds of different judges across the state with different political agendas?  This is why legislation like this is so dangerous.  On the surface it seems benign, but that is always the way things start.  Gray areas that later get to be black and white thru the courts and you usually don't like the results.
