Cleveland cracking down on absent rental owners

Season 2024 Episode 5 | 26m 46s

Cleveland is going after bad landlords and blighted properties with stricter housing codes in the most extensive overhaul in decades. The city passed the policy overhaul dubbed “Renters First” this week. The Ohio House passed a massive appropriations bill this week that will funnel millions of dollars into Northeast Ohio projects. House Bill 2 totals nearly $2 billion in spending.
