. - Install two new high efficiency condensing boilers, and update windows and insulation for better heat loss performance.PROS - a) minimally invasive; b) can provide 15-30% reduction in heating costs (we are told).CONS - a)total gas expense is still paid by the landlord; b) individual units won't have individual control (except for a thermostat controlled shutoff valve for heat/water in each unit); c) AC would be available on with in wall/window units. 2) Try to individually meter each units' gas and provide each with a traditional forced air heating/cooling system.PROS: a)gas expense could be completely removed for landlord (huge)- even tankless hot water could be installed in each unit; b) each unit would have their own climate control.CONS: a) constructions costs of running new gas lines and soffiting sheet metal duct work. b) highly invasive with collateral construction costs; c) future costs of maintenance on multiple systems vs a single building-wide system. 3) An electric based heating system- This is tricky in my mind because of the high cost of electric heat.

If a municipality has an ordinance that bans certain dog breeds, does the ban apply to service animals?

The town has a nightly parking ban from dec 1st to April 15th.You can only imaging the hardship this causes the tenants as my building does not have sufficient off street parking for all of the cars.

Yes some Municipalities are banning STRs, for instance Texas at a state level works with Airbnb to pay HOT tax but San Antonio decided to go after back taxes and set up huge hurdles for airbnb hosts. which goes against the supreme court ruling that allows property owners the right to pretty much do whatever they want withe THEIR property.. its just going to take more 

Therefore, legislation will be introduced to protect the consumer, and owner financed deals could be banned.

They're trying to ban evictions during the winter (however you define that) in Seattle as if they don't know that there would be mass foreclosures from tenants not paying rent for months at a time...this stuff is the reason why I just stopped looking at hold opportunities in the west coast.

Does this mean that we are free to draft up and add an addendum to their lease regarding a ban on smoking if we so desire? 

Here is some info on Wikipedia talking about how rents rose 35% in Sonoma County despite the price gouging ban.

We've been temporarily banned from messaging system because of it:(
