The last Lexington City Council meeting of 2022 was a lengthy one. Public comments comprised much of the session Tuesday. And many of those at the podium asked for Council backing of a tenants' bill of rights. Joe Marcum is a rental housing provider with some 200 renters. He said Lexington doesn’t face many of the issues found in larger cities.
“It’s big enough, yet it still feels small. It has never been subjected to the wild swings in housing prices like coasts or other areas of the country. The majority of the rental housing providers live and work near the city. Not in some corporate office in San Francisco using an algorithm to determine their best profit margins,” said Marcum.
