Yeah… these laws for private landlords to subsidize housing for other families.

If you only have 1 rental property and your tenant doesn’t pay, that’s a 100% loss of revenue while your family personally bears the cost of supporting this other family.

Whereas corporate landlords can absorb these losses by raising rents on 100 doors to cover the families that refuse to pay

Don't rent it then. All these laws are designed to make being a landlord hell so that people won't be landlords.

Maybe the lesson is just to not be so overleveraged.
