[quote=flu]Personally, I think all landlords should collude and pass this 3.8% surcharge directly to their tenants.

From now own, landlords should advertise in their rental the itemized cost.

Rental Cost:
$AA rental application
$YYYY initial deposit
$XXXX/month rent + $$$/month rental “surcharge fee”

If prospective tenant asks, just say it’s a mandatory “fee” have to pay for obamacare. If all landlords did it, what choice do tenants have?

waaaa.

How is passing it on to tennants spreading the pain?

Spreading the pain would be for landlords with other income in excess of $250K to pay the tax themselves. Lower earning tennants have had their share of pain over the last 30 years.
