  1. My father was a very good landlord, who charged very moderate rents, when he could easily have got a lot more, because he was a Pole who had been thorough hell in the war and didn't want to rip off people less fortunate. Despite this he got a really bad tenant who obtained the room by deception. This was about 50 years ago, and even then it was incredibly difficult to evict the tenant, and you should have seen the vast amount of deliberate damage she left behind: things like "Polish Pig" painted large across a wall. This is why "no-fault" evictions are needed. Most of the time it isn't actually no fault, just a landlord that can't afford the time and money of taking a really bad tenant to court.
