With all of the regulations, risks, and high interest rates forced on landlords, I am wondering what you mean by "unfairly"? One bad tenant in Seattle, could mean months without income and even massive property damaged with no ability to recover damages.
As a small time landlord (I rent a few rooms in my primary residence), I feel that the rent I can charge is way below the risks of a bad tenant.
