Landlords should have to be legally regsitered and certified, taking courses to stay up to date on landlord/tenant rights and responsibilities. They should also have insurance/financial proof they can adequately maintain their properties and cover unexpected maintaince costs.

The only counter argument against this, is that it would cause an increase in rent prices
However, landlords will gladly raise the rent for literally any reason at all, so the increase in rent will happen anyways.
Basically, there’s actually no reason this hasn’t already been passed other than that poor people don’t pay for elections.
