re: #3 steve_davis

I’ve been a landlord for 20 years, and a decent one at that.

I can give many anecdotes to every one of yours of tenants violating their part of a lease, whether by not paying rent, or not paying to a previously agreed accommodation, or destruction of property.

You seem to suggest that because all landlords are bums according to you, anyone is morally free to violate what would otherwise be a legally binding document, with legally available redress.

As I suggested above, would you be willing to pay rent for anyone who asked you, given that you seem to think any landlord should?
