Landlords Breaking the Law?

Hey folks, I'm working on a blog post about the common ways landlords break the law. For example: 

  • violating fair housing laws
  • keeping a security deposit when they shouldn't (or not having good documentation.) 

Any other good ideas for how landlords are breaking the laws? 

Thanks!
