In my anecdotal experience, many New York City landlords don’t see their tenants as human beings, just a revenue source. Tenants complain? Maybe a city inspector shows up, a day or days later, so the landlord can turn the heat/water back on, and the inspector reports “no issue found.” People get mad and move out? New tenants pay an even higher rent! Heard horror stories about both individual and management company landlords. Can’t be the only city like this.
I’m pretty sure the long histories of social unrest under feudalism, the French Revolution, the mere existence of Marxism and Renter’s Rights Law, strongly beg to differ with your contention.
Ummmm…
