To keep their bond-ratings, hedge-funds have to publicly demonstrate that they are the most ruthless of landlords

@doctorow once again you’ve used the term hedge funds as a generic catch all and once again you are in error. I get that you post this mainly as propaganda but pretty clearly you did not even read the linked PDF.

There is probably something here that needs attention but unfortunately the PDF used too much agenda language which when stripped out left it rather unclear if this is a cause for alarm or just something that needs adjusting.

For I don’t know how many decades, private (or as the PDF called them “mom & pop”) landlords have been able to use Fannie & Freddie programs as well.

I first encountered that from a private landlord in the 80s. The rental contract had a separate additional fee section to cover property damage caused by pets.
