As Corporate Landlords Spread, a Mold Epidemic Takes Root
As Corporate Landlords Spread, a Mold Epidemic Takes Root
Chronic mold has become an epidemic as severe as lead paint, but neither cities nor landlords are taking responsibility.
Housing, healthcare, education, and other universal necessities shouldn't be for-profit.
They can be for profit.
But limited, a landlord has 1-2 apartments, not 50, and corporations are right out, as are foreign owners.
Housing needs to be about housing, healthcare needs to focus on healthcare.
Ultimately nothing should be for profit.
Agreed, though I would also be down for more tightly regulated and graded housing similar to our restaurants in the short term.
More states should allow withholding rent.
Not just withholding rent, punitive judgements on anything less than best effort on dealing with it as soon as it's known and inspection schedules that keep the longest duration it can be unknown for short enough to avoid most health issues.
isn't that headline tautological?
