State and Local Highlights

Report from South Carolina
There are three recent SC bills which, under the guise of conservation, will further government or special interest group control of private property; will result in regulatory takings; will provide economic burdens which only the wealthy will be able to overcome; and will further the socialistic "Smart Growth" concept of public control of private land. 

Report From Madison, Wisconsin
Noah Fiedler, Executive Director of the Apartment Association of South Central Wisconsin outlines some of the interesting activities in Madison.  These include a recent proposal that would have banned smoking in common areas of multifamily properties containing four or more units, a frenzied attack by housing lobbyists to require landlord participation in the federal Section 8 housing subsidy program, and a recent ordinance in this college town to prohibit showing an apartment anytime within the first one-third of the lease term.  Most troubling, though, is a proposal that reads "No landlord may, by means of a written or oral lease, prohibit a tenant from having guests."  Noah has also provided us with a copy of the fourteen points of the Fair and Affordable Housing Agenda which outlines the priorities of the housing activists, must reading for any landlord who has faced activism at city or town councils.

Tim Ballering Retires as Head of AASEW in Milwaukee
After a dozen years in the leadership of the Apartment Association of Southeastern Wisconsin, Tim Ballering is turning over the reigns to a new president, Tom O’Brien.  But does this mean that we will lose Tim's acumen?  Thankfully not.  Tim remains committed to our cause.  Read Tim's moving Farewell Address, and his promise to continue to use his talents for the benefit of landlords.

Happy Birthday San Francisco!
Congratulations to the Small Property Owners of San Francisco (SPOSF) who celebrated their first birthday and already have more than two thousand members. Landlords and homeowners are joining forces to combat onerous rent and eviction controls limiting owners’ ability to live in their property.
