Loading...Force rouge landlords to live in their properties, as a punishment
Cheaper than sending them to jail – and a punishment to fit the crime. Innovative sentences for criminal convictions are few and far between in today’s justice systems. This would act as a deterrent if nothing else.
There was a case in the US where this rouge landlord was forced to live in one of his expensive hovels as a punishment. No doubt it didn’t work but it got the judge some publicity. Oh well.
Sounds a bit harsh, but it is a problem in today’s age as ever before.
“Recounting this, one of the residents played us a sound recording of the visit, in which a particularly disgruntled police officer angrily chastises the tenants for obstructing the activities of the thugs, simply because they worked for the landlord and therefore should be left to do their job.”
The more property prices are pushed out of reach for normal working families, the more they are slaves to their masters. Read this. it’s getting worse.
