Bump. A straight heater

little lord f***leroy here, i believe the land of the lords must make a living but also understand the means of compassion and integrity. your tenant is a few days overdue? as long as you yourself arent gonna die then whatever, give him another month. if you are living paycheque to paycheque based on being a landlord you yourself are the problem and are an idiot.

Currently in my city:

I really don’t understand why we treat landlords like some small business owner regardless of size and scale. If you fail to run your business, you fail the livelihoods of your tenants. Being unfit to run a rental property should carry much higher penalties than “well s***, hope he pays up and y’all can figure it out in the meantime”. This isn’t Joe down the street’s pizza shop. This is life for people already with the deck stacked against them for upward mobility.

Seize the buildings and sell them to the community at market price. “But that’s a slippery slope of letting the government seize property!” Well amend the laws then! If a landlord is unfit to serve and it ends in a situation like this, all penalty should be on the landlord not the renters. Housing is not just property, it’s a roof over another human’s head. The law needs to reflect that and protect people not faceless slumlords who can’t even be bothered to provide f***ing water for people.

ahead of time, as usual

Agree 100% if I was a landlord (It's my dream) I would have the highest standards for myself as there's not many more important jobs than Providing someone with a good home . Bad ones should be punished

Agreed

The state should be in charge of administrating the expansion and landscape of its cities and should work together with its architects and engineers to design adequate living quarters
