Adopt new law prohibiting landlord harassment of tenants
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no specific law against landlord harassment tactics like frequent unnecessary inspections or threats. The new law defines harassment and creates penalties for landlords who use intimidation to force tenants out. If approved, tenants gain legal protection and can file complaints with the city.
