Sure, just saying I've seen both ends of this. It seems to me the problem is the framework that's at work. It incentivizes landlords and tenants to think of the situation extractively rather than as a member of the social fabric.

I blame the landlords.

For example, they bitch about how hard it is to get tenants out of the house due to existing laws.

That's absolutely true, but what do they think the laws were put into place for? On the whole, they cannot be trusted to be fair. They did it to themselves.
