re: #326 Lidane

Because poor people can pay all the fines and extra money that comes with breaking a lease. AND they can pay deposits and moving expenses to go from a shithole to a better building with a “sensible landlord”.

Really.

The sensible landlord is looking at his own risks. Everybody loses when the lease is broken. The tenant isn’t the only loser.

And walking away is actually pretty easy. Those penalties are very costly to try to enforce and the landlord has little chance of making them stick.

The smart policy is to do the right thing.
