The pending bill would allow “Quick Occupancy” by buyers, boosting property sale rates and prices as vacant homes command higher values. It also exempts most properties rented since Feb 1 1947 to increase new rental supply, while inspectors report 463 complaint cases among 700 new units with several rent reductions averaging 12. Those overcharges included a duplex cut from 100 to 40 monthly and multi-room apartments reduced significantly. A 15 percent permitted rent rise based on Sept 1 charges may mislead landlords and tenants, fueling disputes and evictions concerns for Kanawha valley renters amid rising costs.
