The new Landlord DATAbase is fantastic!
I have to tell you, Don Williams, Don Ryan and their staff at the UC Sheriffs Department have outdone themselves. All too often, the press describes landlords as some overbearing, abusive and greedy entrepreneurs whom use property to warehouse the unfortunate.
This certainly is not the case from my standpoint. As a landlord, I have dealt with some rough trade in my years. Renters have a distinctly different outlook on property care and maintenance in their own living space as well as what you would call considerate community living. Don’t own it/don’t care/what neighbors?
To break a window, punch the walls or let the sink leak for months without telling the landlord is commonplace. When you introduce government subsidized renters to the equation, you set yourself up for a catastrophe. My last tenant left without paying the last months rent and never made one payment toward security. Cowards.
This new website: Landlord Support DATAbase is going to help landlords better deal with the professional victims coming from prior self-inflicted evictions throughout the county. Hallelujah!
The website is good, but needs development for a more user-friendly operation. The department should also open the site to a Landlord Discussion Forum for the self evicted horror stories out there. What tales I could tell.
