It seems like you learned a valuable lesson about stepping into a space where wealthy, well-connected players dominate.
It seems like if you had the appropriate connections to government, this process would've been easier?
- geezerjay 8y agoHow exactly do you imagine that having "connections to government" would affect a problem caused by the law?
- novaleaf 8y agoI'm sure he/she means nepotism/graft/corruption getting the landlord extrajudicial favors.... though their comment seems a bit out of place in this context.
- rtkwe 8y agoIt's not even entirely a problem caused by the law, beobab also just didn't know the full extent of their rights as a property owner. Tenent protections are strong but they wouldn't have stopped beobab from getting them out sooner and inspecting the property for damage.
- beobab 8y agoI did learn valuable lessons, yes. Not that lesson, though. That's a lesson that you might need to unlearn. It will hold you back from trying anything on your own cognizance. I learned a lot about contracts. I learned a lot about tenant laws. I learned a lot about insurance. I learned that if you have a cleaner employed in the houses you rent, then you have a legal right to enter the property to "inspect their work". I learned a lot about different types of people. I did not learn any way, shape or form, that "having connections to government" would have made my efforts any easier.
