But it’s a loophole the the dishonest have discovered they can readily abuse.

If a maintenance issue is due to tenant neglect or abuse, they should pay the bill.

IF it's the tenant making such happen from abuse of any kind, yes THEN accountability but you don't know jack, cut it out, get facts not opinions and assumptions. 

It is a great tax benefit and, as any great benefit, it is frequently abused.

. :)First, I wrote this loooong post on tax strategies and on abusing them.

In my area it is common for landlords to pay for heat which promotes a lot of abuse with the system in that tenants keep the heat at unreasonably high temperatures and often open the windows in the dead of winter when it can be -20 out.

They are also doing a 3 day event (which they do 3 times a year) for $39 which includes a bus trip. 

This is abuse of tax payers to be honest.

I went to Penn State and location is certianly important but as long as you are a bus ride away, you will always find students to rent to at great rates, also I found that Graduate students tend to want to live further away, which of course means lower rents, but it also means that you have cheaper prices and graduate students tend to be a bit more tidy. 

So please tune in and become part of the resolution for those who are limited to the understanding of technology and it's abuse of power.
