More then likely since his posts have issues with QOL issues and previous ones with CLIP. More then likely some suburban slumlord/Sec8 whore who doesn't feel the need to keep his properties and tennants in check or just a slob.......the slumlord name Silvestri comes to mind when I hear whining like that.

... or DeMarco.

Not a slumlord, just critical of nosey busybodies that try to lord it over the rest of us, by using the "system" as a tool of intimidation.

You missed the entire point of my posts. Try re-reading them when your mind is more open to new ideas.

We are incorporated, and the neighbors pay $5 to join the association, the board is elected and I am an appointed board member by the elected president. I respond to complaints we receive about quality of life issues and guess what 99% of them are about tennants and or landlords not fixing their properties, I am not a czar, I do own a bar and it's a nice place I do not have a young crowd that is roudy. I bought in the Tacony so It would not be a problem place.

I doubt you live here you probably are just a landlord, so go away and start fixing up your buildings, screening your tennants, verifying their income and making sure they have not lived in 6 places in the last five years. I am going to send your posts to every civic Association in the city and see what they have to say about what you think of us.

It just makes no sense that your critical of people(1 in particular) trying to make everyday life for residents of certain areas better unless there's sour grapes, an agenda or an axe to grind on your part, which is it what seems to be with every new post. The vague general statements and condemnations arent going to bring any sypmathy to your disagreements.

[quote=Cato;790617]

Rentals are a fact of life, and landlords have restrictions on who they may reject.

Restrictions? That is a joke! They don't seem to have any restrictions that would benefit the community. How about not renting to people with criminal records or when there will be 8 people living in a 3 bedroom row house or if they screwed the gas company in the past! Most of the absentee landlords around here will put anybody in their property as long as they are breathing and have 3 months rent in cash up front! What do they care as long as they get their rent every month. They don't have to live next door to the excrement of humanity they rent to. Sh*t--I'd be happy if they at least performed background checks to make sure they were not renting to criminals or anyone who has been evicted by a previous landlord. Cammy--ignore this A-hole. He is obviously part of the problem and not part of the solution!

And just WHO ARE YOU to tell me how I must screen my tenants or verify their incomes?

What gives YOU any right to dictate to me how I must operate my properties? Have you ever heard of the "Fair Housing Act?" You appear to think that landlords are responsible for every action of their tenants. Not so. In fact, unless the property is being used as a drug house or the tenants are destroying the structure, there is little that a landlord can do to evict them--in fact, the landlord would be leaving himself wide open to counterclaims and even sanctions from various CITY agencies for illegal eviction.

But what do you know of that? You've probably never even been to a landlord-tenant court hearing, but you know everything about the process, right?

All you ever do is complain about every little athing in Tacony that annoys you. You are not an elected public official; you have no special authority over and above any other citizen and your little group of assertive, nosey neighbors probably represents only a TINY FRACTION of the total number of households and business in Tacony--yet you act as though you are on City Council.

Have a nice "Quality of Life" meeting . . . Maybe you folks ought to GET a life instead.

If you knew anything at all, you'd know that most of that information is rarely available to landlords. And, tell me, where do you go to perform a "background check" on someone? And how much does it cost?

That burden is not imposed upon any landlord by any City ordinance or State law--so who are YOU to tell anyone else how they must run their rental properties?

If the tenants are disorderly, just do what you would do if they were homeowners--CALL THE POLICE.

Not sure, but his latest tirade makes it even money on one of the two. Only reason I went with the one I mentioned is because he's a no balls kind of guy that would vent anonymously. Good chance this clown has another name on here too.

Cato, you are funny. I take it you are a comedian. It’s funny that you are so against a QOL meeting.

Yes I understand the Laws and yes tenants can be a pain in the ass, but a descent landlord can hold people responsible for keeping up with the property they are renting.

Instead of complaining about people wanting their neighborhood to look nice you should also be annoyed about those that give landlords a bad name. There are landlords that are good and there are those that are bad.

Why not be part of the solution rather then part of the problem. It’s crazy to get mad at those that are sick of seeing their rental neighbors act like slobs and disgrace the neighborhood, while their landlord sits back and collects a check. It's a joke.

Like I said earlier it’s not all landlords, but you have to admit that some just don’t care. You can't tell me that a landlord cant be responsible for what the exterior of their property looks like, grass that’s 15 inches high, trash every where, and living room furniture rotting on the porch. Are you going to tell me that a landlord can do nothing about that? These are things that a landlord CAN do, and guess what meetings like this wouldn't even need to happen if the parties in question took responsibility.
