Sounds more like a legal question IMO you might get a better response in the Legal & Legislation forum.

Anyone else hear of passed legislation mandating the property managers in addition to property owners are now responsible financially for any repairs not done on properties, taxes not paid and rental certs not submitted/paid for, lead based paint fees/apps and required work, HVAC certs every year and proof utilities (water/sewer) as paid, and general compliance matters?   

So, it  appear that the utility PGE is trying to force something not required by legislation.

Allow me to enlighten our industries 'leaders and legislators.'

But Governors do get members of their state legislature to introduce legislation on their behalf that they will later sign into law.

Thanks  Not sure if there is any legislation on this or not, where it would be illegal for them to keep it.. 

About 5 years ago, I decided to get my RE license as I kinda predicted legislation being put in place against wholesalers (which slowly seems to be happening) and my thought was if I was licensed, I would be able to continue marketing to home owners (not to assign, but only to purchase for my own flips/rentals) So, I'm seeking guidance on a business concept that encompasses my knowledge, experience and licenses.

I work closely with the REC, AGs office and the state legislator in Maryland and DC on regulatory and legislative issues around real estate and housing.

That, plus numbers just not making sense unless you put an insane amount of money as a down payment / buy in all cash, and other anti-landlord legislation made me look to a state like Ohio starting in 2021 and ultimately moving to Columbus to focus on building a portfolio and I've been very happy with my ROI both in cashflow and appreciation over the past few years. 

But should that mean that you are free to interpret what the legislators may have intended (but forgot?)
