Steve,
You have great morals however:
You said:
..I haven't dropped one thing on the ground since I've lived here, or
anyplace where I ever lived. So WHY, when my Rent's paid, should I
have to walk through crap?
...The LANDLORD has to provide a "safe and habitable" unit. A tenant
should respect a the rental unit as "if it were their own" - as in
paying all the bills for it. Not to use it for throwing eachother
through a wall, tossing a toilet or spouse out the window etc, then
calling social services tocomplain the landlord is trash. Same when
the landlord pays the heat - you close the door or window in the
winter, or turn off the water instread of letting in run on and on.
It takes a landlord and tenant to create the habitable enviroment. As
a landlord, I have had to defend myself a couple times for TENANT
actions - not my job to make sure they recycle, park i the driveway
vs the front lawn etc.
BUT since in the end it is mine, I take care of it.
As far as holding a rent controlled building for appreciation - if
there is NO INCOME, the building ONLY has a value X with LIMITED
upside, UNLESS the building can be viewed at coming OUT OF RENT
CONTROL some point down the road. This is Dan's area. As a reminder,
I represent the owner of a nice 40 unit rent controlled apartment
building for sale in Blackwood, NJ. $330 month for a 1 bedroom. High
offer is $1.2m. Here's your chance! ):
