So landlords should be free to discriminate against any tenant for no good reason? Landlords should be free to collide on rents, lease conditions and residency requirements with no in put from representative governments. No health and safety regulations are needed because the landlords who are actually slumlords should have a free hand. What about rent subsidy vouchers? Should the voucher issuing authority not inspect subsidized units?Who are we protecting? Landlords or tenants?
It's not the job of the government to protect either. The market does that.
Two people entering into a strictly voluntary agreement that exchanges use of property for money isn't the concern of government.
If either side violates, or is believed to have violated, that agreement, it's up to the courts to decide if redress is required. That should the extend of the state's involvement.
