Government assistance to get home rental property insulated. This will greatly reduce the carbon footprint and create local jobs.
Why is this important?
Federal and state governments give financial help to home owners to insulate their homes. This program is not afforded to owners of rental property and thus the renter is paying more for heating and cooling than their home owner counterparts. Not only is this not a fair share use of tax monies but also raises the carbon foot print. Renters pay taxes and in many cases more than their home owner’s counterpart as renters do not get a home owner tax write off.
Insulating of rental property program will lower the carbon footprint and create jobs.
