When I moved to LA years ago, a friend of mine owned a small apartment building in Santa Monica. He offered me an recently vacated apartment but it came “as is”. It was disgusting - filthy and just gross. Cheap, yes, but because of rent control, the owner had no money to clean or update the apt. or the building. But, of course, he HAD to have solar panels, etc. installed. I ran like the wind and moved to Brentwood. I still detest Santa Monica.

If this passes we can add another crime to FJB’s list; Rent gouging. He charged his own son $50,000 a month for rent.

“Renters Bill of Rights” means landlords are slaves with no rights.

Because of a quirk in MO education law, they had to pass a test on the Constitution to receive their 8th-grade diploma (It is a K-8 district). Don’t know how well they’ve retained the lessons over the years, but at one point in their lives, they were aware of what was in and was not in it.

Blackrock (as all the other financial institutions) will issue Foreign Bonds at high interest rates to Ukraine for rebuilding that are guaranteed by the US government. They don’t get their hands dirty.

Would that all for Americans at one point in their lives, they were aware of what was in and was not in it.

And they’re all cookie-cutter with their charges! Lots of high fees...application, processing, air filter-changing service, smart home, pool maintenance (if any), pet fees (upfront and monthly). It’s crazy. Around here though...those rentals tend to sit vacant. Good!

Specifically, lawmakers had called on the president to direct the FTC to issue new regulations defining excessive rent increases and enforce actions against rent gouging, suggestions that are aggressive than what the administration has so far put forth.No legal authority for this whatsoever. My guess is that it is an extortion campaign directed at any publicly traded rental companies. Any problems can probably be cured with a fat payment to the DNC or a fat retainer for Perkins Coie.

My guess this is another deferral attempt. This and the tanks, so you don’t keep an eye on the ball.
This POS needs removed.
Mixed feelings, seeing a perfectly good 747 going down with him in it.

Housing shortage will be exacerbated, and existing stock will get crappier. Landlords will divest, and the federal government will take over, and what will be left is high-rise housing projects like those on Mother Gaston Blvd. in Brooklyn, or Cabrini Green in Chicago, from sea to shining sea. Fun, fun, fun, since daddy nationalized the T-Bird and turned it into Amtrak.

How about a property owners’ bill of rights? My wife has talked on occasion about building apartments and renting them for an income. But stuff like this keeps happening and there is just no way I could see us taking such a risk.

Sounds about right.
