We'll see if this actually happens. This line sticks out to me as well:

closing a loophole allowing multiple rent hikes a year and forcing landlords to offer tenants a free way to pay electronically.

I haven't run into that myself, but I understand some tenants are forced onto payment systems that have fees, which is abhorrent.

The sickening thing is that those payment systems are either operated by or affiliated with the REAs. Everyone involved deserves to be sued and/or fined into oblivion.
