Shawn Dooley (R-Norfolk), one of only 10 representatives who voted against the bill. “By limiting homeowners rights to get rid of a nonpaying renter, [the bill] puts many in a terrible financial bind as they still have to pay taxes, insurance, mortgage and upkeep of the building. I do not believe it is fair or constitutional that the government has the ability to seize private property—which is basically what is happening.
