Save our Homes
- Issue: Your legislators are considering a new law that will help protect Section 8 tenants and save Section 8 housing. SB 6663 would put some teeth in the one-year notice requirement for Section 8 housing by fining landlords who ignore it. It would also require that the notices provide clear and useful information that tenants and local government need to protect the tenants and preserve the housing. The bill has been amended to reduce the penalties faced by an owner for failure to give notice from $1000 per unit to $50 a unit. The penalties should be strong enough to ensure that the law will be taken seriously.
