Landlords who give "Landlords" a bad name.

Thought it would be interesting to know if other landlords have any stories in their area that involve landlords getting in big trouble. Here in Cedar Rapids Bob Miell was at one point the largest private landlord in Cedar Rapids...he owned approximately 80million dollars worth of real estate. The amazing part was his portfolio was made up mostly of single family homes. He owned I believe around 1,000 units in the city and out of that about 400 were sfh. Cedar Rapids is only about 125k in population. I've heard stories from people that the guy was totally weird...

 Link below outlines what he got in trouble for.
