Photo Ordinance-show up or send an email!

The photo ordinance is going to be discussed and voted on today at 5pm. The meeting will be in Room LL-110 in the Madison Municipal Building (215 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.). It's the first thing on the agenda so if you decide to go, you'd get out of there pretty quick.

The ordinance requires landlords to take photos of any damage that they are deducting from a tenant's security deposit to fix. Basically, it's proof that the damage actually exists.

Students can come to the Housing Committee meeting and register in favor or not in favor of the ordinance, speak at the meeting, or send an email to Meg Zopelis (mzopelis@cityofmadison.com), Neighborhood Preservation & Inspection Division, about why you may support or not support it.

**Update: The Photo Ordinance passed with an 8-2 vote.
