I have spoken with some attorneys that think it will not go anywhere but I would hate to end up like how Cleveland is.Columbus City Council considers creating registry of rental properties - https://www.wosu.org/politics-government/2025-09-16/columbus-city-council-considers-creating-registry-of-rental-propertiesProposal - https://www.columbus.gov/files/sharedassets/city/v/1/city-council/documents/hearing-documents/bankston/rental-registry-proposal-comparative-chart-and-summary-11-5-25.pdfRegister to speak at the hearing this coming Tuesday - https://us.openforms.com/Form/8a746076-35c8-40e7-a786-79bd2c7e0244@James Wise Yup we've got that in Cleveland and most all of the suburbs.
