If the landlord has a slum apt complex and a decent one, everyone is at risk. VBP That will not be good for many landlords and renters.

That's because if you take a look at where crime is concentrated in Charlotte, you will find that the pattern of crime is concentrated in and around the neighborhoods and apartment complexes that accept Section 8 vouchers. Charlotte Housing Authority is already screening Section 8 voucher applicants without much success in reducing the criminal activity in these areas. If the Charlotte Housing Authority with all their resources and connections with the CMPD aren't able to control the crime in these areas, how are we supposed to do it individually? Are we supposed to start carrying guns for self-defense like the CMPD if we're expected to confront the perpetrators of crime at our rental properties? We're more likely to get shot at like the landlord who got killed last year trying to evict a criminal from one of his rental properties. The Charlotte City Council's ill-concieved and self-serving ordinance places an undue burden on landlords that would threaten their lives as well as their livelihood if it is passed. - Julie Tuggle Donna, I agree that this ordinance making landlords responsible for the criminal activity in that occurs on their rental properties is not a solution to the crime problem in Charlotte.
