In my much younger years just out of college I was a property manager for a company that had about 75 buildings in a college town. I dreaded the yearly turnover. It was disgusting. Hardly anyone got their security money back because we’d have cleaners in nearly every unit charging premium rates because there were too few cleaners for that 2 week turnover. And the college girls were absolutely no better than the boys. It was that job that solidified that I would never be a landlord. Or if I did, I would need to be allowed to be exceptionally selective.
Yup—when the government decided that discrimination was illegal, I decided that being a landlord was not going to be on my bucket list.
The eviction restrictions was just icing on the cake.
There are probably millions more like me—and we could have been excellent landlords.
What many folks do not understand about government intervention in the economy is that it affects transactions that could have taken place but will not in the regulatory environment.
