text: I remember well the L/T laws favored the tenant until the big bust in 1985. The landlords complained but got no sympathy from the lawyers that drew up the laws. After the bust, during the recovery a lot of lawyers bought up the distressed rental properties and didn't like the L/T laws now and changed them to suit the new landlords. Can you say "hypocrite"? That's only 3 decades, not 4.
