now that the private equity guys have figured out how to cost effectively manage the properties Anyone renting from one of this big corporations knows that this game can only go on for so long with this "cost effective" management. Pretty much every apartment I've rented from a big soulless corporation has had insect and rodent problems, dripping ceilings, poor ventilation, mold problems, and a whole lot more. When you build cheaply, maintain lazily, and extract as much profit as possible, you're effectively destroying the rental unit in the long term for short term gains. At some point these buildings will literally collapse due to poor maintenance. I can only hope that the government fights lobbyist attempts to "step in and correct the situation" with massive corporate bailouts.
