As a landlord, not in the KC area, I can tell you that the prior history of a tenant is the best indicator of their future behaviour. If a landlord is unable to consider things like past evictions, past convictions, past damages, credit history, they have no way to protect their biggest assets. For me, my rental house is a large part of my retirement income.
If it is unreasonable for a landlord to want to be reasonably confident of being paid then it is unreasonable for banks to refuse to lend money to poor people or bankrupts or fraudsters.
These new measures are all well and good. However, I think they’re just needs to be a cap on the amount that the landlord can raise the rent every year. Several of my friends as well as myself all work full-time jobs and cannot afford rent in Parkville anymore. That shouldn’t be. I don’t wanna move not only because I like my neighbors I like my neighborhood but also because my children shouldn’t have to change schools. It’s not like my apartment complex all of a sudden got a pool or a gym. They even started trying to charge for assigned parking spaces. If I don’t make it home at a certain time, I’ll have to park 3 to 5 apartment buildings away from mine.
So she stated she is only fighting for black women? The crowd of tenants had all races and men in it, guess the rest don’t count huh? Those black landlords that they interviewed also don’t count either because they are the oppressor? Stupid article.
Housing vouchers make things difficult for landlords, extra inspections, additional rules that the landlord must enforce ( no cotenants, unless government approved), the lists goes on. If the government were to treat poor people like adults rather than children incapable of deciding what is a good rental unit or not section 8 might be less of a problem for landlords.
the problems are so variable on both sides. as a landlord dealing with tenants, you have to deal with the damages, non payment, various lease violations, cleaning, maintenance, insurance, court costs, lawyers fees, tow trucks, cleaning crews,....etc....as a renter/squatter.....people on disability, low income, emergency assistance, single parents, homeless coming off the street. SO the problem is the past tenants take advantage of the law and systems in place so the landlord has to recoup some of the cost, same as in any business. (look at the commercial businesses leaving California due to theft)....I myself tried to help someone and they forced me to take them to court. had I known they had a history I wouldve saved myself ALOT of issues. We need Landlord rights.....not squatters rights. There needs to be a better system in place so property owners can protect their property AND help the community. Maybe since this is a City/County epidemic, maybe the city/county can come up with a program that can get people off the street and into homes if they truly are wanting to be contributable. If they want to be fillthy, nasty, not pay thier bills, live in garbage, scam the food stamp system, destroy property, steal, cheat and lie etc....we lock them up and treat them as criminals.
Its kinda an oxymoronic ordinance, if the tenants are no better. The places ive been were genuine gentrifiers, and one house was realllly bad: the front door wasnt even varnished, chimney is cracked and ready to topple-over onto the nextdoor house, there was a room that he sealed-off as a closet (because we see the windows towards it but couldnt technically access it-) this is just making it worse for anyone who is living paycheck to paycheck, and itll only get worse with record inflation rates
@@eattherich9215 " these are all part and parcel of being a property owner. If landlordism is not working, there is always the option to sell." Yeah and the renter takes on that burden when they rent, where do you think the rent goes? You sound like a communist.
So government policies create inflation that raises the prices of everything. Government then creates policies to create policies forcing rent prices and who landlords can rent to. Government takes over housing.
I can't use my supermarket voucher as income either. Housing vouchers are for a specific reason and Ms Jenkins is right about profiling and tarring everyone with the same brush.
@@eattherich9215landlords who don't want to accept housing vouchers aren't doing so because of the potential tenants. They don't want to be forced to do business the government. The rules and regulations that come with contracting with the government isn't worth it to some. And they don't even pay on time all the time.
@@dliv1687 I've watched some stuff on sec8. It can take months to get the inspection done and approved. That is months of no rent in an empty unit in between each voucher tenant. Not even the potential damages the government won't pay for. It's the tenants responsibility to pay for damages. So, how can a landlord be confident that a voucher tenant is good to pay for damages when they are not even good for rent? They can't. It's a huge risk.
no body tols you as a landlord to go refinance or to take out a loan the property which forces you to pay more ask for first and last and double security

This is why people are moving into their cars and vans. They are pricing people out of housing.
If this bill passes, landlords will raise their rents to disqualify voucher holders. Making it even harder than it is now to find an affordable place.

There are rules in place to ensure the tenants on assistance pay their rent. Number one is they lose their rent subsidy.

Landlords should be scrutinized for not paying their property taxes.
Many are behind in decades worth.
The city will sell your house out from under you for back taxes.
What’s the pt of buying land if you have to pay for property tax???
Property tax goes towards the services the county provides.
What an absolute bullshit statement to make

Your absolutely right.
nuts to this. it is my property and I do not rent to single moms on welfare. just dont. usually bad tenants

'... landlord's incentive ...' er, that would be the rent you are receiving. So often landlords are the problem rather than the solution.
Property taxes increase (often by the vote of people who rent). Maintenance costs go up. Utilities increase. Why should the landlord LOSE money?
@@Bigrignohio: these are all part and parcel of being a property owner. If landlordism is not working, there is always the option to sell.
@@eattherich9215 they will sell, which will lead to less affordable units for voucher holders.

landlord wont rent out to these people because most of them detroy the property
In order to retain their rent subsidy, they have to meet certain standards. Taking care of the property is one of those standards.
@@genespell4340 No it isn't.
well, rent control.
This is the stupidest ordinance ever. If you can't use your voucher as income at a bank, why should a landlord consider it as income.

🤣
If i had a choice usa would be a last choice
no body tols you as a landlord to go refinance or to take out a loan the property which forces you to pay more ask for first and last and double security
then put a cap on rent increase no more than 2 % per year and no more than 6 % in a 5 year period
Then there should be a cap on groceries, utilities, insurance and all other products so that it’s fair for all
