Another new law? WTF?!
Over 10,000 laws are proposed every year in the US Congress PLUS several thousand laws are proposed in each State Congress PLUS hundreds of statutes are proposed at the County and City levels. While only about a thousand get signed into law each year… it’s still a lot of laws. How many will impact you as a landlord? Literally no one knows. We’re not lawyers – but we’re here to help. Follow these links to your state’s legislative code… and when in doubt – call a lawyer! (p.s. If you don’t see your state listed, check back later. We’ll be covering them all!)
