Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Bad tenant alert

[Barbara Burnham (bburnham]

OK, OK enough with the bad tenant stories. I understand that what you are 
describing is a tough situation but it is highly unusual. Almost 40 percent of 
Americans are renters, some because they want to be but most because they do 
not have the equity, or the secure employment or the credit history to do so. 
There are just as many horror stories of bad landlords shutting off water or 
heat, harrassing tenants as there are bad tenant stories.  Frankly I am 
surprised at the tenor of these emails.

Interestingly, the Village Voice has a story this week about the 10
worst tenants in NYC. Some of these awful stories might make you feel
lucky!

Definitely, the protections for tenants have gone too far. There needs
to be a middle ground somewhere!
