[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the one hand I hate how DC treats landlords, and on the other hand I hate how DC treats landlord.

I hate that they go after small landlords with some of the most tenant tilted protections ever. We no longer rent our 'rental unit' due to the horror stories which = less money for us, less housing for someone else, but less hassle overall.

BUT I also hate stuff like this collusion, or that large tenants aren't disincentivized from having their properties lie fallow for years (or the inverse, which would also apply above--incentivized to rent them).

It's all so awful.[/quote]

The horror stories are truly horrible. There was a case recently where two tenants in SE haven’t paid rent in 3 years, received tens of thousands in COVID rental assistance money, and still haven’t been evicted by tenant court. A friend recently listed their place for rent and has been bombarded by lawsuit trolls running FHA audits. Maybe the city doesn’t realize the protections they afford a relatively small number of total dingbats seeking a free place to live on the back of small landlords screws over just everybody trying to rent a unit in DC or maybe it just doesn’t care.[/quote]
