There's a missing middle problem. The actual, real BAD deadbeat tenants know the law and every corner of it (you can find horror stories if you dig in landlord areas; the final usual sure emergency release is the landlord selling the property outright, but that can be hard if the property has been trashed). The actual, real BAD deadbeat landlords know the law and every corner of it, too.

And rich, really good tenants don't know the law and never need to; they pay enough that problems never occur, or if they do they throw money at it or just move away.

It's the missing middle where you have working-class to upper middle-class tenants who don't know the law and how to enforce it, and the same on the side of the landlords.



Interesting in your option is it just a lack of information?
