Sarah Anthony introduced the Tenant Empowerment Package that would grant tenants more rights by setting strict repair deadlines—landlords must resolve head hazards in 48 hours, pests in 72 hours, and general issues in 7 days—and require a 90-day notice before rent hikes. The four-bill package passed the Senate Housing and Human Services Committee in early June and is headed to a full Senate vote, while some landlord groups warn it may increase housing costs. WLNS
