    Seattle's push to add additional regulation, compliance, fees and inspections has resulted in an exodus of small landlords, which are down anywhere from 19% to 22% in four years depending on how you slice it, and an explosion in large landlords which are up 77% in the same period.

    The city has basically consolidated the rental market so it works best for large corporations. Was that the intent?

      Small landlords aren't the ones dropping junk fees on tenants
