might be worth fixing the problem all together by making it easier to kick out people who don't pay rent.

  In a better world I could maybe believe that giving landlords more power could make the system more efficient, but... well...

    The amount of paperwork to rent in Germany is just silly, so the landlord can have a higher likelihood of getting the agreed rent paid. That’s an additional cost when I want to rent a place and I’d rather not have a that at the cost of being kicked out when I don’t pay.

  Because landlords have never abused their power for financial gain, malice or outright to get sexual favours from desperate tenants It took nearly 10 for my previous landlord to face the justice. She was completely outrageous and shameless in her crimes - blatantly in violation of registration for HMC, violation of planning permissions, squalor, disrepair, the houses had rats and literal hole in the wall for rain and wind. She would harass gullible and naive students, illegally evict them, etc. and all her crimes were on written record. And she was doing it with impunity for years. For all that, her punishment is a slap on the wrist - https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/news/article/266/rogue_landlord_ordered_to_pay_ground-breaking_fine https://www.birmingham.gov.uk/news/article/266/rogue_landlor...
