Thanks for the STR legislation summary.

How does the recent rent control/ tenant protection legislation affect our approach?

Hi Peter,Portland does have strict landlord laws and you are correct there was recent legislation that gave tenants more protection.

Bob a few points on the Lead legislation in Cleveland. 

In California, it is usually standard to have specific language regarding smoke detectors due to recent legislation requiring property owners of any rental to install, maintain and test smoke alarms.Basically, smoke detectors must be operational when a tenancy is created.

If you are just looking to insight "discrimination" and "morality" against landlords where no law currently exists to support said discrimination, you may do better to visit your local politician and get "discrimination against bullies" legislation going there.The rest of us will go back to screening and eliminating risk, within the laws, as we see fit and have a right to do in our businesses.       

I'm aware the Examiner is supposed to rule sometime in May, but dont know if that goes through, the likelihood of legislation passing or not.

Repealing this legislation was put before the voters and voted down easily.

Jersey City introduced legislation effectively banning Airbnb and putting all the operators out of business.
