In practical terms, this means that if a landlord wants to evict a tenant, they must first demonstrate that their rental property is legally registered with the city, adding an additional step to the eviction process. is to that rental properties meet local regulatory standards before before a landlord can initiate eviction proceedings. The bill change will take into effectmed 90 days after it becomes law, giving property owners and the city time to prepare for the new.requirement.
