Comments
The fact that this bill has been killed is just sad... If you live in a City or Municipality with high levels of rental you are forced to deal with eviction set outs day in and day out... Not to mention the perception that these set outs make on our neighborhoods... This is another form of neighborhood blight !!! Richmond and those in office should be ashamed of themselves !!! Who's pockets are you in? Definitely not the tax payers !!!
This bill needed to go away quietly. Landlords have enough problems trying to make ends meet with nonpaying tenants, navigating the tenant friendly court system, and going through the Sheriff monitored eviction process. To impose the added expense and liability of storage of property belonging to someone who has breached a contract with the landlord adds insult to injury. I just can not believe how quickly this bill seemed to go down.
