What a load of crapola. What's "heartbreaking" is the lousy bastard stiffed some poor landlord by preventing him from ever raising the rent or selling his property. The landlord probably didn't invest a plugged nickel in the property and it no doubt deteriorated into a broken down dump. A pox on all "rent control" and the theft of private property under guise of "fairness. If Sanders should ever become president of the US, expect nationwide rent control, wage/price control, horrendous tariffs, confiscatory income tax rates, exorbitant capital gains taxes, the confiscation of your lifetime of savings and other such niceties.
The tenant was offered 180,000 dollars as a buy out and he turned it down!!!! What an utter smuck!!!!
