I am the same way. The worst thing I can think of is an unhappy spiteful tenant living in my property. If you don't like it there, you have to go. If you think its too expensive, then move. No lease penalties, I will hire the moving truck. I made that offer to a tenant complaining that the rent isn't fair price. I offered to pay for the moving truck. She didn't move.

It’s a pity the low cost neighborhoods make it so scary you have to carry a gun. Also states like NJ make it almost impossible to evict a tenant, so landlords in poor neighborhoods sometimes just have to declare bankruptcy because they can’t get a non paying tenant to leave. In NJ guns are pretty much illegal at least carrying a loaded one around - so it may be a life and death choice to provide low cost housing.

This man brings good to himself. We rented a home for over 5 years and the landlord charged us for paint (illegal in our area for the length of time we lived there) and for an excessive amount of repairs (we had never not received our full deposit back before this guy, so he was a complete anomaly). He hasn't been able to keep a tenant since. What comes around, goes around.

My first apartment in Oklahoma City was $309. By the time I moved out 12 years later, the rent was $415. I didn't get my first rent increase until I was there 5 years, and it was only $20. The apartment was one bedroom, it was 635 square feet, and it was not a crap shack. I was so lucky to find that place when I did.
