Exactly. I know a elderly lady that has a 6 family house that basically lives on her social security, and what the building brings in. She somehow always wound up with deadbeats and she was working on two evictions at once, and she is owner occupied, so that means only three rents coming in from low rent stabilized apartments (of course tho tenants that weren't paying were the market rent apartments she had). And it takes almost a year to get people out, and numerous court appearances. And all cards are stacked against the landlord, no matter what the situation is.
Deadbeats know the system, and know they are good for at least a half of year or year of free rent if they don't pay.

It is business, and landlords aren't running homeless/social service shelters.

And of course there are bad landlords too....no question, but there's plenty of good ones too.
