Every August, the city of Madison has a big housing turnover, with many downtown leases starting on the 15th. This makes for hectic and crowded move-in/move-out days, to say the least, and raises a host of questions about why renting in Madison is so hard—and what it would take to fix it.
Today, host Carousel Bayrd talks about a variety of tenant–landlord issues, including improvements to the city’s rent abatement program, with David “Rosebud” Sparer.
David “Rosebud” Sparer is a housing attorney and chair of the City of Madison’s Landlord and Tenant Issues Committee.
