โ SB83
Revise eviction, code enforcement, and real property transfer law
Summary
This bill revises laws related to eviction, residential building code enforcement, and real property transfers in Ohio. It establishes a legal services housing defense fund to provide civil legal services for low-income households, modifies eviction procedures, and sets requirements for property conveyance and inspections. The bill also mandates annual reporting for organizations receiving funding from the housing defense fund.
Rationale
The bill increases government involvement in housing and legal services, which conflicts with Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and free markets. It establishes a fund for legal services that may be seen as a government mandate, and the eviction procedures may impose additional regulations on property owners, conflicting with property rights and free market principles.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over housing and legal services
- Potential for misuse of funds allocated for legal services
- Regulatory burden on property owners and landlords
