I'd definitely be curious to know what that would entail, and while I would agree about the lack of ethics that exist, I don't believe in to be a blanket on every landlord. I know many owners who treat the tenants with the respect they deserve who don't have a large enough portfolio to be anything but devastated if people just stopped paying. Most business in the city would be in dire straits if people decided to stop paying based on a point blank assessment of the ethics of their industry.

Yea and when you do eventually get evicted, what's your next course of action? Most people don't have some clutch back-up housing option that would allow them to take this kind of incredible risk. I totally understand and agree with the idea that the housing market in the city does not benefit a great deal of the people here, but this doesn't really do anything to solve the long term issue which in my opinion, is a lack of housing relative to the number of people here and their income levels.

If you don't want that apartment rest assured there are 1-3 post-grads with parents willing to assist the rent, and they aren't going to bemoan the evil landlords.

The smaller ones would sell to larger landlords who could afford to take the hit and eventually you'll be standing around with an eviction notice while somebody else moves into your place.

I think the majority of people are more concerned about maintaining housing than they are about sticking it to "the man".
