Episode 8 Your Voice: Our Morrisville - The Problematic Renter’s Ordinance, Pt 2
In Part Two of Your Voice: Our Morrisville’s deep dive into the controversial Renter’s Ordinance (Ordinance 1019 / Code §400), host Amy returns with guests from the Morrisville Landlord-Tenant Coalition and Borough Council Candidate Shawn Ratti to discuss their proposed alternative — a community-driven solution aimed at improving housing safety without unfairly burdening renters or landlords.
After outlining the problems caused by the current ordinance in Part One, this episode focuses on constructive action. Lee Taylor and other members of the coalition share how they’ve worked to draft revisions to the borough’s existing Use & Occupancy (U&O) policy, presenting a framework that promotes accountability, respects tenant privacy, and strengthens cooperation between property owners and the borough.
Listeners will hear how these residents have attempted to bring their proposal before Borough Council, the roadblocks they’ve encountered, and why open dialogue and fair representation are essential to creating policy that truly serves the people of Morrisville.
Your Voice, Our Morrisville continues to amplify community perspectives — because progress starts when everyone has a seat at the table.
