Opposition to guidance document as drafted
 

This legislation, if passed, does not protect all renters and help them become setup to succeed. All renters must meet the minimum income requirement, because we take into consideration ALL of their other monthly obligations, not just the rent amount listed on their lease. They also have to be able to afford food, utility bills, gas, transportation, etc. If they are only required to meet what is listed in this legislation, they will not be able to afford basic human life expenses. This sis setting them up to fail, this does not protect the renter, or the landlord. Please reconsider this before passing this.
