That's your excuse for slum lords? That it's always someone else's problem? So because they didn't collect from the cat pee tenant I'm supposed to suffer?  Yeah uh no.  If you can't afford to be a landlord than you shouldn't be one.  Yes you are going to get horrible tenants who are going to completely screw you!  But then YOU or they should have done a better job in the screening process of the applicant.  

This landlord didn't even bother to screen her tenants and she didn't care.  She was willing to reduce rent for anything I fixed myself.  She had 3 other equally horrible tenants and only cared about collecting the checks not if the homes were in proper working order, clean or sanitary; Or how many people were living in the other units... In all but two units there were at minimum 8people living in 2br apartments.  Plus large aggressive dogs.  No matter how many complaints went her way she didn't care.  Ie "slum lord"
