Sheer stupidity. We need a rent register and even a lease register to verify the tax rates on houses. And even more so as we move towards taxing vacancy. We should know exactly how many apartments in this city as sitting empty, how many are renting on a standard lease, how many are on monthly leases and maybe have different rates for them. An apartment that is furnished and rented monthly for corporate users isn’t useful to people who really need a home.
@ephraim: how does the tax rate on a house change based on whether it’s rented out or not? Does it pertain to short term rentals or all rentals or some other criteria?
