They will bring in their pregnant daughter and her drug dealing boyfriend with two large pit bulls without ever considering the landlord may not approve.

Sometimes you get drug use, prostitution, and just a lower class tenant base.  

There's a property or two I was looking at near the Boonshoft museum that seem to be good, but I dont want to deal with crime, drugs, etc. any recommendations?

Vagrancy and open drug use are common although it is street-by-street.But this is probably irrelevant.  

There was a lot of drug dealing going on right next door. 

In my opinion, nobody in government (or anywhere else) is smart enough to anticipate the unforeseen consequences of there "mandates"So here is what is going on now.A new proposed ordinance will is going toPut the burden of certifying that rental properties are "lead-safe"Double the cost of the annual rental registration from $35 per unit to $70 per unitRequire landlords to put the lead status of the property into a searchable data base.All tenants to terminate leases and/or suspend some or all rent payments if the property has lead hazards.Fines for landlords who do not show their property to be lead-safe.According to today's Plain Dealer article; the city has inspected 10,000 properties in 2018; and found 10% to have lead violations.

It’s sad but often people with drug habits and no jobs (at least in my experience).

I get them through my allstate dealer.  

I saw the other night what looked like drug dealing activity from my window.
