One Person's Attempt To Spread The Word About Milwaukee's Proposed Mandatory Rental Inspection Program (a.k.a "Landlord Licensing")

Posted by Tristan R. Pettit, Esq. in Legislation, City of Milwaukee, Residential Rental Inspection (RRI) Program / Mandatory Rental I / Comments

A fellow attorney friend of mine forwarded a pamphlet/flyer/handout that he saw on the east side of Milwaukee.  The UWM area is where the city plan's to begin its mandatory interior inspections of rental units (a.k.a  "Landlord Licensing") program assuming that the ordinance is passed by the common council.  The handout should definitely make tenants living in that area give some thought to the city's latest attempt to infringe upon their rights.  The handout raises some good issues that I did not address in my earlier posts on this topic on September 10, 2009 and September 14, 2009.
