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.

Get real, Lidane. What landlord actually tries to collect blood from a turnip or people who can’t be found. What deposit —the government pays much of it.

The last landlord I knew spent more money trying to evict a Section 8 (squatter) than they ever collected. Same landlord had to totally gut a kitchen and bathroom to the studs and replace the fixtures and cabinets because the Section 8 tenant respected the property so much…

It works both ways.
