    why be a landlord at this point?

    What do they mean? Everytime a la dlord posts or talks its about how hard they work to maintain their property. Constantly fixing things and dealing with unreasonable tenants. Such upstanding citizens surely would fix mould, wether or not the law required it, right? Then there’s no practical change.
    The only way this could be bad, is if landlords don’t actually do anything

      It’s worse. Even the ones who would fix it on their own will get up in arms about being made to. If they do it on their own, they can feel good about themselves; if they have to do it, they don’t get that sense of moral superiority

      the mould is obviously from unreasonable tenants just hosing down the walls all the time. it’s like the zoolander gas station scene in there, 24/7. So it’s bad you have to fix that because it removes the serfs incentive to not do the zoolander gas station scene 24/7
