City of Rochester Lawyers Say “Good Cause Eviction” Bill Maybe Unlawful

Rochester City Council held a public hearing to discuss the “Good Cause Eviction” bill, though city lawyers have found this legislation may be unlawful.

City Council will vote on the bill next Tuesday. Click Here To Read More.
