Bad Unscrupulous Landlord Imposter (aka BULI)


A NEW BREED OF OUTLAW

     This is not about "tenants' rights", and it's not about a landlord/tenant dispute.  The subject in question here is stopping crooks who assume the guise of landlords in order to use apartment buildings to victimize anyone who rents from them.

     It's a wide open opportunity for any kind of violations they can do to steal money from the very people who can least afford it.  Then they drive them out to make way for new victims, and do the same thing all over again.

     We are NOT talking about some minor misunderstanding with a tenant.  These are premeditated criminal actions taking place against apartment dwellers at large.  There are only a handful of owners doing this, but they are getting richer and are expanding their holdings at our expense.  They are also increasing in number.  They have to be stopped!



BULI SYMPTOMS
