BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT RENTAL REGISTRATION… CAN WE START AT THE BEGINNING? I keep coming back to one question: What problem are we actually trying to solve? If the problem is a small number of landlords repeatedly renting housing that is unsafe or uninhabitable, then THAT is where I want our attention. Not good landlords. Not good tenants. Not another database just because other cities have one. The bad properties. The repeat offenders. The people who refuse to fix them. But once you start peeling this back, you realize how many layers there really are. A tenant needs somewhere to live. Maybe they rent a property that is in terrible condition because it is inexpensive, available, or they don't have many other choices. A complaint is made. The City inspects it. Let's say the property truly is dangerous and should be condemned. I support that. Unsafe housing should not be occupied. But now what? The tenant who needed inexpensive housing has no roof over their head. Where do they go tonight? Then the property becomes vacant. Who secures it? Who maintains it? What happens when someone illegally enters and begins living there? What happens when the owner refuses to repair it? What happens when fines aren't paid? How long does enforcement take? When does demolition become appropriate? Who pays for that? And while we're dealing with all of that, have we actually stopped that same property owner from doing the exact same thing somewhere else? There are layers upon layers to this housing problem. That's why I think rental registration may be #15 on the list—not #1. Here is where I would start: Identify the actual problem properties. How many rental properties are truly creating serious health and safety concerns? Identify repeat offenders. How many owners repeatedly appear in code-enforcement cases? Identify exactly what violations we're dealing with. No heat? Electrical hazards? Structural problems? Sewage? Plumbing? Infestations? Trash? Different problems may require different solutions. Review every existing City ordinance available to address those conditions. Find out whether those ordinances are actually being enforced. Track what happens after a complaint is made. Inspection → notice → reinspection → citation → court → resolution. Identify where cases are getting stuck. Not enough inspectors? Court delays? Owners ignoring notices? Fines too small? Fines not being collected? Prioritize serious health and life-safety violations. Those should receive immediate attention. Create stronger consequences for repeat offenders. The person who fixes a violation promptly should not be treated the same as someone who repeatedly refuses. Ask the biggest enforcement question: If an owner repeatedly refuses to make a property habitable, why are they still able to rent that particular property? (chain broken somewhere) Create a plan for displaced tenants. Condemning unsafe housing may be necessary—but we have to acknowledge what happens to the people living there afterward. Create a plan for vacant and condemned properties. Secure them, maintain them and prevent them from becoming an even bigger neighborhood problem. Address illegal occupancy and squatting in vacant/condemned properties. Measure whether these efforts are working. Fewer repeat offenders? Fewer dangerous units? Faster compliance? Fewer abandoned properties? THEN ask whether rental registration solves a problem that still remains. And here's the interesting part: We may never get to #15. If we properly identify problem properties, enforce the laws already available, concentrate resources on repeat offenders and fix the gaps in enforcement, we may discover that we have addressed much of the problem without requiring every responsible landlord in Quincy to participate in another program. And if we get through #1–14 and discover there is still a legitimate problem that registration would solve? Then let's look at it with actual data in front of us. I don't have every answer. But I'm ready to help find them. I work in real estate and housing every single day. Much of the property information we're discussing is public information. If someone needs help locating property records, sales history, ownership information, market information or understanding how different pieces of real estate work, use me as a resource. Let's get City staff, landlords, tenants, REALTORS, neighborhood advocates, attorneys, housing organizations and anyone else who understands a piece of this puzzle talking to each other. Not fighting. Problem solving. Because I really believe most of us want the same end result: Safe housing. Accountable property owners. Responsible tenants. Fewer abandoned properties. Affordable housing options. And enforcement focused on the people actually creating the problems. Let's peel this onion one layer at a time. Where should we start with #1? How many true repeat-problem rental properties do we actually have in Quincy? That is the first number I want to know.

I want to be very clear about something: I absolutely support safe, livable housing in Quincy. 🏠 Bad landlords and unsafe properties should be addressed. Period. But before we create a new rental registration program, add another fee, build another database, and place another financial burden on responsible property owners, I believe we should first ask: 👉 Are we fully enforcing the housing and property maintenance codes already on the books? The overwhelming majority of landlords take care of their properties, make repairs, pay taxes, carry insurance, and provide good housing for their tenants. We also know there are a small number of problem landlords who repeatedly create issues. My concern is that we create a system where the good landlords end up paying for the bad ones—while the very property owners we are trying to reach may simply choose not to register. Peoria's own numbers raise that exact question. They estimated approximately 8,500 non-owner-occupied properties, yet only about 7,200 were registered. That means roughly 1,300 properties—about 15%—were outside the registry. So before Quincy adopts a similar program, I think we deserve answers: ❓ Did rental registration actually make Peoria housing safer? ❓ Were problem properties easier to identify and correct? ❓ What happened with properties that never registered? ❓ And most importantly—could stronger enforcement of the codes Quincy already has accomplish the goal without placing another cost on responsible landlords and ultimately their tenants? Safe housing should absolutely be the goal. But let's make sure the solution actually targets the problem. A few slumlords should not jeopardize the majority of responsible landlords—or force responsible property owners to financially carry the burden created by those who refuse to follow the rules in the first place. Enforce what we already have. Measure the results. Then decide whether another layer of regulation is truly necessary. #QuincyIL #RentalHousing #SafeHousing #PropertyOwners #Landlords #HousingPolicy #QuincyLandlords
