Donald Trump was a nightmare landlord in the 1980s

[Frank Cannon]

That evil Mr. Trump, he wants his rental contracts enforced and to be paid the rent therein....

You read the article. This wasn't about rent collections. This was about clearing a building to demolish. As a matter of fact, the only rent collection issue cited in the article was where Drumpf overcharged $10K a year to a tenant and had to be forced to give it back.

"Rent stabilized" = "rent controlled"

Real conservatives do not support rent control

[A-Lert]

From the article above:

His plan was to tear down the building and replace it with luxury condos. But first he needed a small band of rent-stabilized tenants out of there.....

Not deadbeats. People who didn't want to leave their rent-stabilized apartments.  Not the same thing at all.

Who owns the apartments and the building? Is rent stabilization a conservative/republican idea or principle?

What do you guys think it was little old ladies cooped up in there with no heat?

Bunch of drug dealers heroin addicts and people of that ilk that we may be paying $10 to $20 to some landlord to stay there with no water no heat okay maybe it wasn't but let's get something straight this was not a bunch of little old ladies that were going to be put out on the street okay?

Of course rent control is not a conservative principle. But here we have people so obsessive over Mr. Trump, they will argue any position which is opposite Mr. Trumps interests and positions.

Rent control is big local government. Rent control is a city like NYC, of Lost Angeles, or Santa Monica essentially "taking" the owners right to income from his/her property.

No serious conservative argues such positions, unless they are not really conservative, are obsessed with Trump.

In the real world owner of property will seek to void, change the rent control, whenever possible. That is just reality, not internet forum real estate for elections.

But, @flowers, if (and, I say "if" because there's a lot of slanted and/or outright fake stuff out there) if it's true and speaks to a candidate's character and mode of action, don't you want to know about it?

Yes if it is the truth.
