Who owned this house? Sue the landlord.

If landlords are liable for crimes committed because they've allowed a light bulb to burn out...I don't see how they can escape liability when they've rented out property to criminals.

We talk about going after scofflaw employers, but another way to control illegal immigration is to find a way to go after landlords.

I think the guy'll probably notice his house getting burned down. Same basic idea...

Better find a way to simplify eviction before holding landlords responsible for the actions of their tenants.

Yeah - that's it... sue the landlord. That will solve the problem.

How can you sue the landlord? Landlords' rights are limited when it comes to respecting the rights of the tenants who rent the house. For example, I own rental units and by law I just can't walk inside the home I own whenever I want. I cannot just kick out the tenants because they have not paid their rent.

Landlords should be psychic now? Do you have a way to tell who's going to committ crimes in the future? If so, please, tell us all now.
