Oh the poor victimized tenant... That's all you find on an Internet search when you are looking for answers to protect yourself as a landlord. The landlord is universally villainized. Why the very name 'landlord' includes the suffix 'lord' to suggest someone that has power over the underprivileged. Well this is the 21st Century and the landlord has become the victim. Forced to allow tenant activity and possessions that can devastate the landlord's property, pay legal crippling legal expenses, and lose practically everything when a clever opportunistic tenant plays the system.
Landlords have lost the right to commonsense practices and protections such as:
- deny tenant from having a pet, even if it is a small horse, because the tenant can claim the animal is for emotional support
- prevent tenant from taking on additional roommates without compensation
- return the tenants deposit even if tenant is behind on rent or has done damage that can't be specifically quantified within a narrow window of time
As a landlord, it is your property and you pay the taxes, yet you have very little to say about what happens there and your hands are tied when it comes to protecting your property and investment.
Tenants are morally entitled to reasonable rights such as the right to privacy and to allowed to live in a reasonably safe and well maintained environment. Laws designed to ensure this are overreaching and vague, and in most cases cripples the landlord the most basic means of protecting the property and investment. The law goes too far.
TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR PROPERTY!
