    After reading the story about Larry landlord and tenant Roger Renter, I feel like Roger should have inspected everything himself before moving in because sometimes owners will not tell you everything that is going on. Roger should have got the roof checked and looked at the ceiling in the apartment to see if anything seems like it has a leak, and if he saw something, he should have told the landlord and the landlord should have fixed the issue. Also, Roger should have made Larry wrote a covenant because he would have had some documentation that Larry stated he was going to repair the leak. For instance, when I and my finance moved to Valdosta in an apartment the manager of the apartments stated they checked all apartments.

    Seeing her struggle from this perspective showed me how much power the landlords truly have. If a landlord evicts someone, for whatever reason, this hurts their chances of being able to rent again for the rest of their lives. This is a tremendous amount of power placed in a small amount of people’s hands and highlights the powerlessness of renters overall. As Crystal and Vanetta were applying for apartments, they came across an agency that had a strict set of pre qualifications for renters to meet, including no history of evictions and no criminal records. They did not meet these qualifications, but valued that
