The article \u201cCouncil vote gives tenants more time\u201d (Madera Tribune, Nov. 23) highlighted the great work done by the city, passing an emergency ordinance protecting the 200+ residents. Great work!<\/p>\n
Many of Madera\u2019s population rents from apartment complexes like Laguna Knolls or private landlords. Tenants, including myself, have lived in non-maintained homes renting from slumlord-like landlords who leave necessary home repairs unattended for months on end.<\/p>\n
Fresno County passed an ordinance enacting the Fresno Inspection Improvement Act, providing tenants an avenue to hold landlords responsible for negligence. <\/p>\n
As the days become cooler, and 6 months from now when the afternoons are scorching, tenants should have the basics of electricity and air conditioning.<\/p>\n
More often than not, landlords are not having property inspection and register their home as a rental property. <\/p>\n
As Madera grows and becomes bigger, more and more homes will have tenants, and if we would like to have Madera be a bright and beautiful community, having a system similar to our neighboring county would be a good idea. Each county is different and handles housing in different ways. With that said, investigating the RHIA would be an area of interest. <\/p>\n
