Hello,

I hope everyone in the US had a great Thanksgiving.

I am currently compiling a list of landlord vs tenant friendly states. I hope that this can serve as a reference for others. Feel free to make corrections or add feedback - I realize that states can be landlord friendly but cities can be tenant friendly or vice versa.
