During the April 1 Work Session, the rental registration program was brought up.
Mr. Johnson, City Manager, said "the situations that are now in front of us ... they weren't registered with our program."
One of the prosecuted and tried landlords registered his rental in 2009 in the year he bought it. He has renewed his registration every year since (while some other landlords didn't register their rentals until 2012). In fact, the city inspector thanked him by e-mail for renewing his registration in Oct 2012.
The landlord sent an e-mail to Mr. Johnson with the proof of his rental registration since 2009. He is demanding correction and apology in public.
Did Mr. Johnson deliberately lie or is he just grossly misinformed by his staff?
Also, during the work session, Mr. Dunn said, "Realtors are somewhat opposed to the program." Are they only somewhat opposed to it, given that the Metrotex Association of Realtors endorsed Mr. Amir for Mayor, who is opposed to the program?
Mr. Dunn seems to be raising the issue of COs (certificates of occupancy) before tenants move in. This is the path that Garland went down and got sued over landlords' right against warrantless searches, costing taxpayers $90K!
