This just highlights the fact that landlords will generally seek to charge the maximum amount they can get in a particular market.

It doesn’t matter what happens with their property tax bill. They will seek the maximum rent possible given prevailing market forces.

If a similar tax increase happened in a market like Detroit, many landlords there would not be able to recoup the cost simply because their housing market is the opposite of ours in terms of supply/demand factors.
