This affects landlords and property owners who rent out their properties in Philadelphia. The goal is to ensure that rental properties meet the city's safety and health standards.

Adding a new Chapter 21-3500 of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Public Utility Meters," to prohibit provision of a second utility meter by a public utility at a residential property without evidence of a valid housing rental license for the property, under certain terms and conditions.
