As your post tells me you are clearly anti-1031 and very possibly anti-capitalist, I am not sure what much can be said on this.

I don't know CA laws but know they are tenant friendly and very anti-capitalism, etc.

An eroding tax base and increasingly anti-business climate is to blame.

Sign the new lease and pray that tenant will not invoke the anti eviction law?

I get the anti vac folks.. 

It could be said that the new administration is anti landlord. 

I am in no way anti realtor, just have seen too many that do terrible jobs and cost their clients time and money.

-Three proposed Wa state anti-landlord bills;HB 1236, SB 5139, SB 5160 Eviction Ban Bill -SB 5160 also mandates that housing providers renew any rental agreement or month-to-month tenancy for 2 years after the end of the emergency period ends, unless the property owner sells the unit, or moves into the unit themselves. 

The Anti-Eviction Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1, and the Summary Dispossession Act, N.J.S.A. 2A:18- 53, provide the following grounds for the removal of tenants that may constitute emergent circumstances justifying an LT trial:• Disorderly tenant (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-53(c) or 2A:18-61.1(b));• Willful or gross negligent damage to premises (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-53(c) or2A:18-61.1(c));• Abating housing or health code violations (landlord seeks to permanently board up or demolish premises because cited by authorities/inspectors for substantial health and safety of tenants) (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(g));• Occupancy as consideration of employment (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(m));• Offenses under comprehensive drug act (N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(n));• Assaults or threats against landlord or certain other persons ((N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1(o));• Eviction for civil violations (tenant found by preponderance of evidence that theft of property, assault, terroristic threats against landlord or member of their family, employee of landlord’s, etc.)

However, Portland has declined substantially in terms of homelessness taking over every neighborhood, trash piles everywhere, increased crime, looting & drug use, graffiti everywhere you look & the tenant laws are very anti-landlord.
