A friend sent me a link to this article. Apparently these two were more concerned about ruining their tenants' lives than anything else. Although nobody would think these two despicable people are representative of all landlords, the profession does not have a good reputation.
But is that because of how they act or is it because of what they do?
A landlord provides a place to live in exchange for money. They make a profit on the deal, usually. They also put up capital to buy the place, fix and clean it between tenants, and risk losing money. It can be a good bargain for the owner, but it can stink if the wrong people get access to your property. I've already had my share of deadbeat tenants, renters leaving before their lease is up, and damage to my property. And without renting to Axl Rose, yet.
If it were as easy as flicking a switch, everyone would be doing it.
Anyways, here is the link to the article. It is kind of crazy what these people would do to mess with their renters:
