THE CITY YOU LIVE IN MAKES IT HARDER ON LANDLORDS THAN TENANTS

[Mark Sokolowski]

the city i live in (especially under the current mayor) is so anti owner that it is frustrating beyond belief! after 2 consecutive years of 0% rent increases on 1 year leases and now only a very minimal increase they are proposing a bill that, (ready for this one??!!!) makes it illegal for an owner to reject a prospective tenant application based on a criminal record! i seriously hope this bill does not pass. anyone else live in a city that is very biased against owners. it seems like it is just here!

PS landlord tenant court is a complete joke. if you have the keys to any vacant apartment in this city you can walk in and just sit down without ever seeing the owner and the owner will have to go through 6 months of court to get you out because the city doesnt want more homeless people so they dump the responsibility on building owners! is it like there anywhere else but NYC?

@Mark Sokolowski This is basically the norm now on the entire west coast. Invest in Texas. Don't know what else to tell you.
