Last week, our City Council finally discarded their heavily contested idea of mandating inspections on all rental properties in the city of Ventura. Besides the mind boggling logistics of impementing this system, can you imagine the headaches involved with trying to close an escrow as there was a point of sale inspection being considered as well. As if it's not hard enough to get a closing these days!
There would, of course, have been a "fee" charged for the honor of their attentions which would ultimately get passed on to tenants.
Property owners, landlords and Ventura Realtors banded together in a show of opposition and packed the city council chambers. We owe thanks to those who kept everyone in the loop via email and were there to voice their opinions of the idea as I'm clear we'd have a new burden on our pocketbooks had they not. Way to go!
THANK YOU!!!
