Background

 This bill requires the County Executive to establish procedures to collect and analyze housing data for rental dwelling units in the County and to make every effort to centralize the data collection functions to minimize the burden for landlords. The reporting process is mandatory and is done on a annual basis. The data is vital to the County to measure the supply and availability of rental housing as well as other operating characteristics.
