For families to access affordable housing, they often need legal representation that takes their side against abusive landlords.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have been mislabeled as a big advocate of low-income home ownership over rental.
Substantive and procedural law benefits and protects landlords over tenants, creditors over debtors, lenders over borrowers, and the poor are seldom among the favored parties.
Trapped in the bureaucracy nightmare, real families suffer when the big banks and their servicers force foreclosures. The emotional toll on children packing up their rooms and on parents struggling to find a temporary roof is a deep one.
Public housing is more than just a place to live, public housing programs should provide opportunities to residents and their families.
In working class districts, you had several families living together in the one house, and it was very difficult to get a house, because the politicians who controlled housing were doing so in a very discriminatory fashion.
If there is 'right to buy' for council tenants and housing association properties, then why shouldn't that apply to all tenants? Some landlords are decent, very caring people, but some of them are truly appalling.
There are tremendous barriers to building housing. If we could break them down, the need for rent controls would go away.
Too often, the landlord-tenant relationship is unbalanced with all the power on the side of unscrupulous landlords.
The landlords are not agriculturists; that is an abuse of terms which has been too long tolerated.
Family violence is a criminal act; perpetrators, while often former victims themselves, need to accept culpability.
