I have been renting m�r single family home <br />since 1992. Over those years I have put thousands of dollars into repairs and improvements. I have no problem <br />with inspections of rental properties to encourage and require all landlords to provide safe and adequate facilities <br />for Roseville residents. <br />��y concern lies with the reauirement of an annual inspection and license fee. I would recommend that yo� create <br />an ordinance requiring inspections every five years fnr those that meet the codes. Of course for those needing <br />work, I would expect repeat inspections (and possibly higher fees) to make sure the problems were rectified <br />You could also build in an incentive for those that keep everything up to code, such as a reduced license fee. So <br />many of my renters are thrilled that they are able to rent such a nice single family home in a great neighborhood <br />and town. I would hope that by your increasing the costs that owners of single family homes have to pay, you do <br />not force the owners of rentals to sell them. We are already paying highertaxes. <br />One think I feel very strongly about is ANNUAL inspections would be overkill. Most people's homes have never <br />been inspected. I n the case of rentals, to go from never to yearly is excessive and would be needlessly cost[y to <br />all. <br />Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your service to the community, <br />Sincerely Yours, <br />��C �a� v �� ��fS��n <br />j ��$�`��{}� <br />
