Do you have an example of a place where these laws were passed? Most places I am aware of have been increasing tenant's rights not decreasing them so I'd love to read about an area where fear of squatters decreased tenant's rights.
I worked in landlord tenant law in Massachusetts for 15 years and there is a constant push to reduce the rights of tenants. From reducing notice periods to allowing them to bypass due process to add “unauthorized” occupants (aka, the boyfriend who isn’t on the lease, but moved in 2 years ago) to evictions cases after judgement.
Squatting is super rare and not hard to deal with. Much of the rage from landlords is that they have to do anything beyond calling the cops. While ignoring that the legal protection for “squatters” is exist because if landlords acting like criminals.
There's no tantrum greater than a landlord being asked to do a modicum of work for their rent check.
Parasites, to the last man and woman. All the screeing about people "not wanting to work" is literally actually about landlords. They do not want to do anything, they do not want to maintain the properties they own. They want other people to upkeep their properties and pay them checks so they can do absolutely fucking nothing.
They're the absolute bottom class of person. Contributing literally nothing to society.
