Video: Attorney explains new housing ordinance

Louisville landlords, if you would like more information on the Louisville Metro Council's proposed housing ordinance, which would expand protected classes to include applicants with Section 8 vouchers, the homeless, and those with criminal backgrounds, check out this video. KREIA Past President Eric George sits down with real estate attorney Michelle Rawn, who has been keeping up with developments.

Make Your Voices Heard Before Metro Council

Have you heard about the Louisville Metro Council's new O-395-19 Housing Ordinance? It's introducing legislation that should concern you if you own rental property in Jefferson County. Among other things it restricts a landlord from excluding any resident whose rent is subsidized by housing assistance (Section 8). If you'd like to read this ordinance for yourself, check out this PDF file.

At this time, we are asking all KREIA members and Louisville landlords to seriously consider signing our petition of encouragement for Metro Council to hold off on a vote for this ordinance should a special session be called before the end of the year. Please sign here, and thank you!
