Just ran into an interesting scam landlords are pulling. It used to be 30 days notice to vacate. Landlords are pumping this up to 60-90 days in their rental agreements. They hide this in a 20 page leasing agreement then hammer their residents when they try to move. In a free market, this wouldn't be an issue: renters would tell landlords to eat crap and walk. But there are two major issues: first, housing is a tightly regulated market controlled by a cartel of realtors who have lobbied to pass multiple laws to prevent people from selling their houses "without a realtor". The second is a series of leasing Cartels that all collude to use the same lease, giving renters very poor choice. Here's the thing: in this market, there is no way in hell you can tell a buyer we'll close in 60+ days. This further exacerbates the housing market traffic jam, meanwhile the landlords and realtors are the only ones winning. The only way out to is de-regulate the absolute crap out the market and releasing the market from the cartels that control it.
