As a renter within the City of Olympia, I hope the City Council does NOT pass the proposed amendments because they will drive more landlords out of business and result in much higher rents for us all. My partner and I love living in Olympia and we don't want to be forced to move away to a less desirable area due to the foolish policies that our City Council has proposed. As others have commented, the City Council should work WITH landlords rather than poison the playing field with such onerous policies. Rent control in any form does not work for renters or landlords. I've seen rent-controlled properties in Los Angeles and they were shabby and run down due lack of maintenance.
