Landlord Ordinance

WMBD/WYZZ TV – PEORIA -- Peoria landlords may soon be required to register all their rental properties.  It's an ordinance Peoria City Council members will be proposing at tomorrow's meeting. Currently landlords only have to register one time and pay $25 for each property. But council members want landlords to register every year. It's in an effort to update the city's property ownership list. Right now, council members don't know which properties are rental, or owned. They say having the information will help them develop neighborhoods like the glen oak impact zone. The hope is to draw more homeowners into the area with incentives to stabilize the neighborhood. But council members say they need an updated list first.
