Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
Wow! That's really horrible that private landlords are able to get away with that crap. I know public housing sucks everywhere, but I had no idea how bad private landlords could be and get away with it.
That has to be very hard for you trying to help your clients but getting nowhere due to the court system's inadequacies.
Like many others, I fight the fight with the clients the best way I can, Laura.

Yes, there is a list. For more fun, look at the evictions list embedded in the article and tell me if you keep seeing any common landlotds between both.
Here's the thing, it cuts both ways when you have garbage tenants and slum landlords.

NYS just passed rent reforms, leaning more in the direction of tenants. One of my colleague is a uber small landlord - two apartments. She's got both tenants who are problems, destroying properties and costing thousands of dollars in repairs. Of course, one has been delinquent in rent for about 8 months and she's taken him to housing court.
A very complex issue, to say the least.
