Rental Inspections

What do you think the Richardson city council is up to now?? The other night we got a survey call regarding the Richardson Residential Rental Registration and Inspection Program. Surveying??   Richardson Texas is surveying select citizens to find out how they feel about the rental registration and inspection program??

And; Finally we have the rental inspection program on the Richardson Texas City Council Agenda.


Finally on the City's agenda but probably not the way they thought it would be.

Ulterior Motives?? Rental Inspections/Repair Leads

Wendy Moore spoke with one of our neighbors putting a 'For Rent' sign out for her property. She voiced her apprehension with the rental registration and inspection program in Richardson Texas. She told how it was curious that when she was cited for something that needed a repair (i.e. paint), she receives a phone call offering that specific service that she was cited for.

This is a very curious practice to me if it is true and I have no reason to think otherwise and I would not put it past a city to do this.

We encourage landlords to document this type of coincidence.

4th Amendment in Richardson

Whose 4th amendment rights will the city violate next??  Didn’t District Judge Sam A. Lindsay rule that it was a violation of the landlord’s 4th amendment rights when the city inspects an unoccupied property??  Or.. Isn’t it a violation of a tenant’s 4^th amendment if the city inspects a tenant’s home without probable cause?? (I think that’s in the constitution)

The Richardson Texas city council feels it will be alright to do either. 

Interesting dance Mr. Johnson does with this question from Scott Dunn.
I don’t know any landlord that failed to register their rental property.
Only thing is, making a person register their tenant and their private property is a violation of a citizen’s privacy rights and can’t be justified by any city.
