Reply to comment by tonka737 in Passing Good Cause Eviction would NOT make it harder for landlords to evict tenants for non-payment by [deleted]

In what way would this not benefit new tenants?

New tenants will face higher scrutiny on their application, more discriminations especially families, units be smaller and less available units since turn over will drop dramatically bc the old tenant not leaving past their original contract term. You are lowering the turn over but still not building enough units hence screwed inventory. Not to mention owners will start to pull units from market to avoid bill to rent only word of mouth. Plus no will will want to rent to someone who may be a potential long term tenant bc the faster that person move out, faster owner can return to market and raise rent price since price increase cap don't apply. So nil incentive to have long term tenants or large units bc they outgrow faster in smaller units nor non near perfect candidates under this bill.

You know the entire forest you not seeing...

You're just listing off a bunch of things tenants wouldn't like with no supporting information whatsoever.

Like how would good cause eviction decrease the size of apartments???

And why on earth would it cause fewer units to be available? Turnover does not mean that new units magically become available.

Edit: I just realized that you're the landlord I was talking to earlier. I'm not interested in chatting with you more here, just trying to inform tenants that this bill is in their interest. Cheers!

New rental construction will simply be smaller to avoid long term tenants. Existing may be chop up. The faster you outgrow the unit, faster you move out. Faster move out ,higher the rent increase under this bill It's the same how new rental constructions and renos come with all electrical. The owners don't have to pay for any of those utility expenses since it can be separately metered. Saving them money. You don't think they want units configured in a way that will save them and generate more money

Yes turn over does mean unit is available for rent. It's the definition.
