    Yeah, there absolutely needs to be a board like the labor board that investigates those types of issues for the tenants at no cost to them. I know some places have them, but I think it needs to be a federal system instead of a state/municipality system.

      We can mitigate it with responsive boards and authorities, but this disconnect between the owner and resident (the same disconnect that sometimes leads to tenants trashing the property) is inherent to the system. As long as renting a primary residence is a thing, the problem isn’t going away. Not fully.
