Granted, there are a few bad actors out there, however they are few and far between and there is already a mechanism in place to deal with them. The manner this got adopted and approved and that it impacts ALL rental property owners raises a multitude of questions. Why the lack of proper notice? What's the real motivation behind this? Are they afraid of / concerned this will not be approved if given proper notice? The increase in cost to the rental owner will naturally be passed along to the tenant, so why would anyone want to cause rents to increase needlessly? There are many more questions but I have run out of space..

This process would slow down the time for rental units to be ready to be occupied.

I know there are some bad actors out there, but it seems unfair to penalize all landlords for the few that do not take proper care of their properties and the needs of their tenants. I believe that an open dialogue an a system of reporting properties that are not maintained AND the property inspection department being fully funded and equipped to deal with these problems is the right way to go.

No need for another layer of bureaucratic oversight. Mechanisms already exist the handle these concerns.
