"The most flawed element in the proposed ordinance is the 'Just Cause' provision. As drafted, this provision would enable and protect individuals who engage in disruptive behaviors in rental housing communities, especially those who harass - even threaten - fellow residents. Operating properties to benefit all residents is a challenge, and this proposed provision will fundamentally impair property managers from creating and maintaining a safe, peaceful and well-maintained housing environment." (Bill Bisanz, Real Estate Equities) Submitted to City Council 03/04/2020 |

Proposed Ordinance # 20-14 is rushing into existence without sufficient input from all stakeholders. Residential properties that provide housing to one or more "tenants" will be regulated. |

Properties directly affected include apartment buildings, condominiums, townhouses, and single-family homes. If this petition is signed by ~ 6,000 registered voters before late JUNE, 2020, St. Paul's City Charter requires that the Ordinance be suspended pending the outcome of a citywide referendum (vote). Tenants, property owners and neighbors of affected rental housing deserve carefully-considered and balanced provisions -- before enactment of unforeseen and unintended consequences. |
