text: For many years, I rented a two-bedroom basement apartment in my own home at a reasonable rent to offset mortgage and other costs. The rent was raised only when the tenants left and even then at a reasonable rate. The entire apartment was renovated. But when I left the work world, I was concerned about my safety as an older adult dealing with the tyranny of the Landlord Tenant Act with its sole aim to protect bad tenants against people like me. I sold my home (which was not my first choice) so that I could get out from under a mortgage that would force me to rent part of my house. So sad that a moderate income rental was lost because the current landlord-tenant laws do not help good landlords to remain in business.
