Two states are seeing contrasting efforts pertaining to rental property registries.
In Kentucky, House Bill 173, introduced by Rep. Ryan Dotson, R-Winchester, would prohibit any local government in Kentucky from adopting or enforcing “policy that creates or maintains a registry of landlords or residential rental properties for any purpose.”
While in Georgia, the Georgia Municipal Association is advocating for lawmakers to overturn their state’s ban on rental registries
Even on the local level, all is not smooth sailing, while one Ohio community is touting their new rental registry (click here) another is dealing with the ramifications of last month’s Tuscarawas County Common Pleas Court ruling striking down it’s landlord registration deeming the yearly, per-unit fee unconstitutional (click here)
