I think they literally want to run me out of money and out of town. They may find that they are creating a bigger problem for themselves when landlords decide they have had enough and just start walking away from these properties. That is the problem with government agencies...when they run their budget into the ground they just get to take money from whoever they want to so they can keep their jobs.

I truly wish someone would take up the cause and fight for single family homeowners and our right to rent our property. I'm sure we would ALL comply with affordable conversion or licensure requirements. I completely support safety, but really, safety isn't what this is about. If it were I could have used my TIH inspection I had received and paid for a mere 30 days before. This is about generalizing single family home owners into a"group" of landlords and gouging those who are most vulnerable. I want my renters to be safe, I want to comply but truly can't afford the $1000 conversion fee, or worse, now the fine's I'm receiving. I'm at a loss why would the city do this to those most vulnerable.

I also had to move out of town. I can't sell in the current market and have to rent to cover my mortgage, but with the low rental rates I am not even covering that. The $1000 fee is crippling.

I had to move for work and am faced with either selling my house at a loss in the current market (after SO much time, effort, and money put into fixing it up) or paying this outrageous fee for an inspection PLUS rental permit... and no guarantee that I'll be able to rent the property anytime soon or at a decent amount to cover mortgage costs. Is there anyone out there fighting this in legislation already or any suggestions of who to write to? I would just like to add my voice to the ones above.
