It's kind of odd that the legislation favors the tenant and not the landlord. I thought it was the reverse.
I used to watch episodes of the old Abbott and Costello TV show. On the show, they lived in a rooming house where the landlord would physically assault and verbally attack Costello whenever he felt like it. (Granted, they were always behind in paying him rent...) I know it was meant to be played for laughs, but I always wondered: "Could he get away with that now?"
Tenants rights have been getting stronger year by year and there are some pretty bad landlords out there too. The scales have tipped toward the tenants where I live on the west coast.
Ugh what a nightmare. I'm not sure if you've ever watched the series, Worst Roommate Ever. It was soooo bad and in America the landlord's rights are almost non-existent.
There are several documentaries about terrible tenants. Scary out there.
I haven't watched it. No TV here. It sounds like a fascinating series, though.
Yes, it's scary out there. Now that time has passed and there's a bit of space between us, I'm left with interesting character sketches and short stories that sound made-up to the uninitiated. It was both a return to renting experiences from my younger days and a glimpse into the reality of some people's lives
My job is to assist evicted tenants move to a new apartment (that they find)......nothing in this story surprised me. ALWAYS go back 2-3 landlords for references AND check their Facebook page/other social media sites 😉😉PS: same holds true for civil service employees seeking a promotion 😉

Reading your case, I would have to conclude: no.
Tenants rights have been getting stronger year by year and there are some pretty bad landlords out there too. The scales have tipped toward the tenants where I live on the west coast.

Yes, you're right about that. I learned the lessons the hard way.
