to find out information about something as important as rents and vacancies in our own city, that we are looking at zillow and craigslist. >> not everybody is on board. many landlords are expressing their frustration before the vote calling the ordinance an invasion of privacy. san francisco apartment association agrees with that. >> disclosing which tenants pay what when all tenants live under the same roof kind of sews what we call rent animosity. >> housing inventory will track corporate rentals and increase the city's ability to crackdown on companies leaving units vacant. it can help the city identify vacant properties that can afford to give subsidies to for low income renters. the law will go into effect in july 2022. keep sending stories and ideas to project home at cbs.com and you can see our reporting there
