I do think that landlords who are really negligent and create safety issues should be punished, and we do have some of those here.

Too many city governments hate landlords and are willing to punish the poor and middle class renter to prove it  When a “balanced market” is 180 day supply and we’re at 10-20 day supply. if 2 or 3 times all the homes currently on the market suddenly came on the market I think you’d be lucky to slow the price increases.

Lying on a state document is a class B Felony in GA punishable by 3 years in the state slammer.Go for it.

I've never understood why they punish the landlords and put us at risk. 

After this, I am hoping and praying that Jill Berg and Robert Berg get. the punishment they deserve. 

You're a glutton for punishment!

The absent landowner is punished.

According to Article 134, the Uniformed Code of Military Justice indicates:“Any person who borrows a specific sum of money from an alleged person/persons at the alleged time, and dishonorably fails to pay even after the alleged due date, is in violation of the general Article 134 and shall be punished as deemed fit by the military court.”What this means in English is that if the landlord calls the Commander or First Sergeant of the service member and explains that rent is delinquent, they hold to power to punish the Soldier accordingly.

FYI everyone: King Trump's "moratorium on evictions" doesn't just stop evictions, it creates a federal crime punishable with up to one year in Club Fed for landlords who violate it.

Give yourself a reward / punishment structure if you do not accomplish it.
