The landlord has the responsibility to make the home that is for rent habitable and safe. Renter’s insurance is to protect the renter and their personal items. Caitlin and Amie have been displaced from their home and have lost the majority of their personal property because of a leaky roof that caved in their room. There are a plethora of possible solutions, but the solution that is most fair to all four girls and the landlord, is to have the landlord repair the ceiling at his expense, and for the rental insurance to cover the cost of the loss of Amie’s and Caitlin’s personal property, as well as the expenses that have occurred because of their displacement. “Even if it is not in your rental agreement or lease, your landlord is required to

In the end of 18th century to 19th century, more and more people began moving into developed cities. Especially in New York City, thousands of new immigrants were seeking a better life than the one they had before. Tenements were built as a way to accommodate this growing population, and the majority people who lived in tenements were working-class, cause back to that time most tenements were located near factories, tenements were highly concentrated in the poorest neighborhoods of the city. A typical tenement building had four to five stories, in order to maximize the number of renters and to maximize their profits, builders wasted little space and buildings that had been single-family residence were divided into multiple living spaces to fit in more people, early tenements might dwell in almost 90 percent of their lots. There were no housing laws to protect the rights for people who lived in tenements until they stated The First
The main problem rent control can create to landlords is the case of the tenant do not move out because of the good rental price. That causes the landlords to lose money by not being able to increase the rental price of their units. Besides, the price of maintenance continues to increase, causing landlords to not earn any profit with their ...
Without rent control policy, landlords need little or no reason to evict tenants via gouging (Hanly 196). As long as the rent is paid according to the rental contract and the tenant does not violate any code, the right to occupy should be preserved (Hanly 196). This would also prevent different rent increases between substantially identical units by landlords who are attempting to evict or gouge a particular tenant. These laws have been widely practiced across the
In my experience as a real estate sales representative, I have looked at many rental properties that are owned by people that are commonly known as slum lords. These units are in disrepair with leaks, mold, mildew, holes in walls, ceiling and poor floor coverings. Many people are afraid of pushing these issues to have repairs done as they might lose their shelter or their rent could be increased. There are people living in a rooms in a house, that are also at risk as they don’t realize they are not protected under the tenant act so the owners can remove them from their shelter without notice. I have also experienced people living in abandoned commercial buildings ...
The responses from tenants tend to revolve around three of the same topics. Our tenants tell us that:
Although, New York City has attempted in trying to strengthen their affordable housing dilemma it has never been strong enough to combat gentrification in neighborhoods all across New York City. Thus the city should increase rent stabilized apartments, and prevertaion of federally subsidized housing . A proposed solution is to enhance rent stabilization policies as an approach to enable long-lasting occupants to remain in their homes. Shortly after 1943 rent regulation reforms were introduced after the shortage of WW2. After this occurred legislation was made in 1969 Rent Stabilization Law to the 1997 rent regulation made. These legislations were used to help low income residents and many who couldn't afford to keep up with the high increasing
Title 42 U.S. Code § 12703 - Purposes of Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, states, “to retain wherever feasible as housing affordable to low-income families those dwelling units produced for such purpose with Federal assistance” (US Constitution). Meaning, low-income houses should be valued as such only under reasonable circumstances. Affordable housing protection laws and policies like perpetuity clauses are resulting in unintended consequences. The intricacy of Law of the United States deploys a sense of justification, deposition, and perpetuation of structural violence via housing laws. How are selling and refinancing restrictions set forth by permanent perpetuity clauses on low income homes affecting the homeowners, their
The issue with the suggested location of the homeless shelter is that it is too close to businesses, an elementary school and a park. 1000 N. Kraemer Place is not the adequate location for a homeless shelter, there are businesses nearby and a school 1.9 miles away, this is not safe for children walking home from school. If this shelter were to be opened it would result in major chaos with the children’s parents because the parents will not allow their precious jewels to walk home after school. Aside from the school there is also a park located 1.2 miles from the proposed shelter, children are constantly playing at all hours of the day, but if this homeless shelter is placed here parents will not give their children permission to go out and play. This prohibits children from receiving their daily needed exercise.

Hostels can be regarded as the second home for students when they stay away from their homestate
Communicating with people from other countries often makes me bother, and it happens when I am totally not expected about. This is not the first visit to the other country, but talking non-native language in non-native country is quite different from the long time study in my country. Especially, when we face some special occasion, like renting a room, it is very hard to negotiate with people. Renting a room is not a thing I am familiar with even in Japan. One day on July, one rumor among Japanese students became true, that not all of us can have a room in dormitory even if one send request in this April. My friend received a mail from UNR, which said that he could not have a room next semester. My friend and I were just shocked and on that day we started looking for a room.
