Landlord Harassment

Landlord harassment is the willing creation, by a landlord or their agents, of conditions that are uncomfortable for one or more tenants in order to induce willing abandonment of a rental contract. Such a strategy is often sought because it avoids costly legal expenses and potential problems with eviction. This kind of activity is common in regions where rent control laws exist, but which do not allow the direct extension of rent controlled prices from one tenancy to the subsequent tenancy, thus allowing landlords to set higher prices. Landlord harassment is usually considered a crime in most municipalities, however, enforcement can be difficult or impossible in many circumstances.
