Default Mariano's tenant bill

Any thoughts on this legislation's effect on availability of rental housing in QV?

Would that law pertain to Mr. Mariano when a correctional facility is his landlord for the next ten years? hehe
The law amounts to the same amount of garbage as any other modern legislature in Philadelphia. They put in 100 vague violations, which will only further the intimidation L&I can enact on any businessperson-allowing a tenant to sue for punitive damages over a loose tile in a rental is nonsense. PA has some of the best absentee landlord laws in the U.S. that effectively regulate landlords, and I fully support them. If a window is cracked, you fix it, or your fined and the tenant can escrow their rents. Mariano's plan would allow L&I to deny your licensing, and then allow the tenant to sue because they had to move-should be a good year for the TV lawyers if this gets passed.
