But the fine is only 10% of your property tax so most condo owners won't care about a couple hundred dollars. But $5k to $7k might be a little more of a problem. I'm just going by what's in that article and a few others I have read. Property experts don't think it will have a huge impact on the cost to rent.

Don't get me wrong, I hope it does but I doubt I see one bedroom apartments coming down to $600 or $700 like they were when I first moved here 17 years ago. They might come down to $1500 but that's not a huge help.
