>Landlords would subdivide houses into individual rooms and rent them out. Isn't our current crisis primarily a shortage of low income housing? Is all low income housing a "slum"? Landlords would be competing for good renters, so they would be incentivized to offer good living environments. >Maybe not via the courts, but they would just shot off the water, and the heat, and then invite unwanted guests to live in the "unoccupied" apartment, until the non-paying tenant left. They couldn't do so legally as long as the tenant continued to pay the official rent amount, any more than any landlord can currently shut off utilities to a tenant who is paid up on their rent.
