  2. And those people have no water, electricity, etc. because he couldn't collect enough rent to pay off the utility bills due to those people not paying rent. How is the landlord disgusting? Trying to collect the rent in full and on time?

  6. <Somalia next door functioned better without Government for 30 years, than 58 years existence of kenya Government.> Somali refugees who would like a word with you on that. And isn't that the "true communist" society that communists always advocated? Post-Barre Somalia was exactly that.

  7. Forced how?

  8. How so? Landlords put up their own money to buy the land and have houses built on it to rent out.

  12. LOL. No more money-hungry than the the government and utility companies they collect rent to pay off the utility bills and property taxes to. <Every time I watch something like this I’m so grateful to be born and raised in Canada.> Privileged much? And if you're from Vancouver, you're the last who should be talking.

  14. Why can't they help themselves?

  15.  @dganguli2852  Yeah! And let it fall into disrepair due to neglect and lack of maintenance. What about the tenants? How about forcing them to do something productive and manage their money better so they don't fall behind on rent so much?

  16. The UN doesn't run Kenya. The Kenyan government does. And no! The government should not be in the business of playing mommy and daddy.

  17. That law is expiring. And it doesn't look like Biden is going to extend it.

  20. What does the UN have to do with this?

  21. How are those landlords pathetic? You know that if the landlords don't pay their dues, the utilities will get shut off and the property will be seized resulting in the tenants getting evicted anyway, right?

  22. He's worried, because if doesn't pay the mortgage or property tax, either the bank or the government will seize the land and the tenants will end up on the street anyway.

  23. No. They just don't bother using them.

  24. Don't you just love currency exchanges?

  25. <Ask yourself, would your have been happier if you were born and lived as your ancestors did 500 years ago?> When they barely stayed in one place, sustained themselves with inbreeding, lived on average to be no more than 40, etc? LOL
