  1. CW: iepol, landlords, slum creation.

    How on earth is this sort of thing legal? This is simply a slum. It's ironic because I believe houses such as this were used as such from the early 1800s to mid 20th century. This is just neo-colonialism. Creation of slums needs to be banned.

  2. Scumlords, Slumlords.... you decide.

    Utter pieces of shit who want to extort rent from the vulnerable and sidestep planning laws.

    Hotel owner tried to claim that rooms it was letting out were 'flat's because they had a microwave, fridge, kettle, and bathroom.

    So far they've wasted thousands of taxpayer money by challenging the council and losing twice, and are continuing to appeal.

    All because they don't want the extra scrutiny and cost by registering as a HMO.

  3. Mieterin mit vier Kindern fristlos gekündigt - nachdem NDR über massiven Schimmel in Wohnung berichtet

    ndr.de/nachrichten/niedersachs

    > Eine Mieterin aus dem problembehafteten Wohnblock in der Groner Landstraße in Göttingen hat dem NDR vergangene Woche den schlechten Zustand ihrer Wohnung gezeigt. Am Montag hat sie die fristlose Kündigung erhalten.

    Schon vor Jahrzehnten, als ich noch in Göttingen lebte, gehörte dieses Gebäude (neben dem Iduna Zentrum) zu den schlimmsten Wohnbunkern in Göttingen.

    Es ist unfassbar, dass sowas Jahrzehnte möglich ist, solche katastrophalen Wohnbedingungen aufrechtzuerhalten.

  4. Why do landlords, who canonically are rich bastards, always pick the cheapest fixtures like faucets?

    It would literally save them money if they picked metal fixtures that last decades instead of plastic mix shitbits that decay in a couple of years.

    Sincerely: Renter sick of everything breaking down.

    (First it was toilet button....twice. Had to have hand shower swapped when it busted. Our shower fixtures are literally chipping off, and now our faucet is dying.)

  5. “The family living at this address were particularly vulnerable as they did not have alternate housing options and had all suffered health issues likely as a result of the condition of the property."

  7. National Rent Control? It’s Closer Than You Think.

    youtube.com/watch?v=BlF6a0JLsY

    A historic wave of tenant organizing is on the verge of winning renter protections that would be attached to federal loans—affecting 1 in 4 apartments. But Greystar, Blackstone, and AvalonBay are spending millions to block it.
    They're a part of a coalition of massive landlords, baks, and investors who are pooling resources to block rent control and renter protection policies.
    One of the biggest landlord industry lobbying groups is called the National Multifamily Housing Council. That group has spent almost $10 million lobbying against rent control.
    Despite this opposition, we're seeing one of the largest upticks in tenant organizing since the 1970s, as renters across the country face worsening housing crisis. Groups like KC Tenants are at the forefront of this movement, fighting to stop unfair rent hikes and corporate slumlords..

  8. 3/3

    Maybe the worst example of DisasterCapitalism involves paying #rentseeker #slumlords and #propertyDevelopers millions to use their deserted, #highriseHellholes as #hotelQuarantine (or glorified #prisons).

    And we're sure at some point these people will be put to work to click on #advertising soon to get free #quarantine. We could call it #reeducationHotels or #concentrationHotels.

    The #DisasterCorporatism needs to stop.
