His attack, together with Mayor O'Brien, first appeared using of the term slumlords and we need to attack the city's blight. And then after promising that we will not raise taxes we come up with a solution to charge non residential landlords a $150 fee for each apartment they own no matter where the owner may live.
Additionally, the Mayor added another tool calling it the hotspot whereby if a property gets more than a set amount of emergency calls the landlord will be fined for each call subsequently received by the emergency team of the city. Why should this be charged to the landlord and not the tenant who is making the calls?
And it doesn't end there the common council approved a list of charges or fees for building permits, etc. and that list has not been made public with the owners and the public awaiting for this list.
Reading a recent newspaper article all the aforementioned reasons for attacking the non residential landlords they are now calling it out of state landlords. Or could this change of attitude be directed towards a particular city Landlord?

Trueworthy was quoted in the newspaper just yesterday as calling these protestors nothing but a bunch of slumlords.
