Tenants rights meeting agenda: Shift or Shaft? Were landlord' needs shlofft?
The breakfast meeting relating to tenant/landlord rights and regulation, hosted by CM Gary Schiff, has come and gone. It had been announced here and elsewhere. I was busy with previously committed tasks, and could not monitor. I have seen no announcements of the "outcomes" of this gathering. Can anyone report what was "accomplished" there? Can anyone, including silent Gary, tell me which persons were invited to represent the "for-profit" affordable housing providers (local landlords)? We were already well informed from his meeting announcement that "Staff and advocates from HOME Line and the Jobs and Affordable Housing campaign will be on hand." Keith Reitman NearNorth Bad Omen:My spell checker offers "stiff" when it reaches Schiff Keith said then (7/27): I am a rental property owner. I believe generally that the landlord/tenant rights dynamic is a zero sum game. If a right is given to one; it must be taken from the other. Further, it is possible to take a right from one, give it to the other; and have both parties suffer from the outcome of the shift. I learned, during the implementation and evolution of the "Mpls. Housing Crises", how City elected leaders' mean spirited manipulation of municipal ordinance could be used to create mass homelessness, and the unfair destruction of private property. REMINDERS: 1.
