Local residence are going to be screaming city councils will adopt tough regulations etc etc..  

A proposed Seattle City Council bill could cap rent late payment fees at $10 per month, with the hope of helping tenants who fall behind on rent avoid higher balances.While renters in the city have been protected from late fees and any other fees associated with non-payment throughout the pandemic, that protection will expire this October, a year after the city ended its civil emergency." 

I sold my rental duplex in South Minneapolis in 2022 after getting frustrated with the City Council and leadership allowing riots and the burning down of local businesses in the local community and the gov't not stepping in until 4 days later with the national guard. 

I'm not naming names but  the Seattle city council made it a point of telling everyone how evil landlords are.

This will not help tenants but these activist city council members refuse to consider that.

As adjusted Tuesday, it would apply only to departing tenants at or below 80% of the area’s median income, or about $65,000 for a single person.Too bad the quote from landlord Ed Doyne will be ignored by them: “We’re taking care of our tenants,” “Everything the City Council has done has only made that harder and incentivized us to just get out of the market.”

City Council) will do and very likely is not a legal answer.  

On the other hand my local lawyer/friend is suggesting I have him contact the bank's council that filed the original actions and see if they will go ahead and sign a release.

you're exactly right James Vermillion....Charlotte City Council said the purpose was to know where to get ahold of landlords..however, that is already public record, so this seems a little redundant...second of all, they said it was to punish landlords who repeatedly have crime occur at their property....Shouldn't we just punish the people who are committing those crimes instead of pushing the blame onto someone else?!

All kinds of reasons for regulation such as affordable housing shortage.There are probably some videos of online city council meetings or committee meetings where it is discussed.
