“Landlords need to be more accountable for the people in their buildings. It is not OK to have four or five or six or 10 people sleeping in an apartment designed for three, and it's not good for the community.”
Dan Becker
“I do not trust people who don't love themselves and yet tell me, 'I love you.' There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.”
Maya Angelou
“It is not easy to steal where the landlord is a thief”
Irish Sayings
“So cheat your landlord if you can and must, but do not try to shortchange the Muse. It cannot be done. You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal.”
William S. Burroughs
“Give a landlord an inch and he'll build an apartment house”
Saul Antin
“The landlord owns the property and ought to be maintaining it in such a way that it is not depreciating in value. If it needs painted it ought to be painted. If trees need to be trimmed, they are trimmed.”
Donald Smith
“I really can't say for sure what the consensus might be at this time. Obviously, the (landlord ordinance) is not a good one because it violates state law. I think we need to start off with that premise with anything we do.”
Councilman Van Pearlberg
