New tenants are annoying the existing tenants cause it smells like weed.

In particular the section on causes for eviction.

In the longer term, theory holds that this should cause the cost of rental housing to increase.SB0608 summary from the bill:Prohibits landlord from terminating month-to-month tenancy without cause after 12 months of occupancy. 

However, what do I charge for damage that I do not intend to immediately replace? 

The issue is removing no-cause "evictions." 

Now of course they’re still responsible for any damages and repairs.That’s interesting he’s been to court over it.

As a buy and hold real estate investor, can you charge a tenant for repairs if they do not take precautions during a freeze by opening cabinet doors, letting water drip, covering outdoor spigots etc. which cause pipes to burst?

This will cause people to figure out loopholes and cause rents to rise even further.

was trying to use equity on 1 of my properties to purchase more this year.dti was the cause of rejection.

IE tenant or subsequent buyer defaults causes huge damage and your now faced with negative cash flow for a year and 20k to fix the place. if you can handle that its okwhat happens though is you have unsophisticated sellers and in a lot of instances the home is lost to the bank and the sellers credit is trashed.. plus many times they want to buy something else and with this mortgage still in their name they cant.its just a very risky dangerous thing for a seller.
