NYC's worst landlords

[brooklynlulu]

I haven't met a landlord that was good, must know our rights and don't be intimidated, it's a shame what they do to tenants that don't deserve to get pushed out.

Being from a multiethnic & legal background, I find that most tenant-landlord problems are between people of the same group. Whether it is bias or fact, Hispanics get the worst rap as tenants in NE and SW regions of the USA. Stereotypes do not help. Tenants need to be more savvy about where they rent and their rights AND duties. Landlords need to do background checks more AND abide by laws and codes. This prevents slumlords and court actions. Have a lease, and stick to its rules, BOTH sides.

Colored people are the worst tenants.

I wonder if the building/landlord that won is now completely gentrified?

Many of New York City's buildings are very old. It is horrible how their rent is more than anywhere else in the country. Landlords are rotten people for the most part. I mean, they are like car dealers, thinking they are gonna get a lot of money for doing hardly any work.

Greed at it's worse.

The rent control laws in New York make the landlords act like this. The law motivates the landlords to make people move so they can improve the property and raise rent. In other states it is in the landlord's best interest to maintain the property, raise rent as expenses increase, and retain the old tenants. Liberal laws always come back to bit you in the ass.

Was the landlord for Sheridan One in the Bronx in there? That landlord was really dirty and got people out of the building (especially minorities) just to raise the rent on the 1 and 2 bedroom apts. This landlord is in New Rochelle and stopped at nothing including using the judge to help him get them out. This building I considered my home, he wanted more than I could pay ... so guess what, I lose.
