Man, it's a real shame that there aren't legally enforceable minimum standards for the quality of rentals that would require landlords to provide their tenants with basic standards of warm, safe, healthy homes rather than wrigging out every single cent of profit they can out of people who just need somewhere to live. That'd be kinda cool right? Maybe balance out the disproportionate amount of power landlords have over their tenants?
