Thanks, The Oregonian. What the fuck. These poor landlords required to keep track of "minutiae" such as... the date an application was submitted?? Sorry that you've chosen to run a business my dudes??

Screenshot of text: By The Oregonian Editorial Board Portland City Council always cautioned that it might have to revise the sweeping set of tenant protections it passed in 2019. The policies, which imposed new restrictions on how landlords can screen prospective tenants and handle security deposits, were billed at the time as the “most comprehensive screening criteria reform policy in the country.” While tenants cheered the changes, landlords decried the severe administrative burden posed by the new ordinance, which mandates such minutiae as recording the date and time that a landlord receives an application.

@darius if only we had some kind of automated electronic devices for which recording timestamps was trivial

@darius I find it impossible not to read that paragraph as sarcasm, but that's one of the disadvantages of being British

@darius I'd better be able to deduct this fainting couch as a business expense!

@darius I feel this same burden when I punched a timecard at work. Truly landlords now understand the plight of the working man

@darius oh no I can't imagine the technical difficultly required to sufficiently capture [checks notes] a timestamp

I can't imagine a single system that would ever record that

an email with a timestamp, because of course there's a timestamp, how could you make a system that doesn't have timestamps?

@darius doesn't their email server do this for them?

@darius yes landlords have always had trouble figuring dates and time which is why nobody is ever "late" with their rent
