CITY OF OSWEGO -- The Oswego City Council has passed a new law to crack down on absentee landlords.
Lawmakers passed the measure unanimously Monday night.
The amendment to the city code requires of town landlords to hire a designated property manager who must live within a 25 mile radius of the city limits.
Landlords will learn about the new law when their permit expires or if they apply for new permit.
Some tenants we spoke with say landlords are buying properties without even inspecting them, and often times since they live so far away, they aren't keeping up their properties.
