"I have been at the heels of buying a house for a long time — as income grows, so do home prices, leaving working families just out of reach. Landlords have an expedited eviction court process to protect their profits. Renters need equal protection. We will build a County Registry for Service Level Agreements (SLAs). My IT colleagues know exactly what I'm talking about: a transparent ITIL ticketing registry where tenant repair requests for HVAC, mold, and pest control have legally binding resolution clocks and named accountability. If tenants pay rent on time, management must fix essentials on time."
