I'm not decided on the topic being talked about, but just want to say that my parents in Milwaukee renting out a condominium have gotten burned from a string of 4 tenants. Flat out didn't make payments, didn't respect the rules (i.e. rules of condominium association, which puts the owner in trouble), intentionally ruined the place on last day out, literally, with a sledgehammer, and basically ended up costing money. And my parents are by no means rich... the $800/month for a 3-bedbroom place was their primary means of income.
They're finally having better luck now that this time that they requested credit reports, actually exhaustively followed through on references, etc.
Don't know what the answer is -- maybe the regulations should selectively be applied to those who rent out multiple properties?
- tptacek 6y agoI don't think landlords screen tenants out of malice, and I know a bunch of landlords who have related their challenges to me. But environments like this are to unlawful bias what standing water is to mosquitos. It sort of can't help but creep in, and without some objective standard, there's no way to keep it from turning into a plague.
