Lake Worth stops mailings to renters due to confusion about letter's content

Click title for link to article. I got one too and wondered what to do with it since I do not rent out a room. It must have been expensive to send out since each letter had your address and parcel ID number on it. From the article:

The system will require regular inspections of properties owned by landlords who avoid city inspections for possible violations of safety, zoning and housing codes by keeping utility bills in their names, often renting their properties with utilities included.

So, I guess this is designed to prevent the sort of situations like we have with our Mayor's present living arrangement.
