A garbage man and his garbage apartments Sean Hannity is a goddamn humanitarian for investing some of his Fox News millions in low-income housing (purchased with loans supported by Uncle Sam). After his real estate holdings became known, Hannity described his purchase of rental properties foreclosed on during the financial crisis as an act that just might earn him sainthood:
Like how Bakker is not selling his slop buckets, but giving them away to people who donate a lot of money to his ministry. Nope, nothing scammy there. "Donate this exact amount, and we will give you this lovely gruel."
Seems unlikely, since he, his attorney, and one of his financial advisers are among the owners of the management company, which is full of his associates.
Of course, they could still be ripping him off, which would really be a shame (nope, no violation of the rules to hope his own friends rip him off).
Corporations want to be considered citizens when there's perks to be gained by it, but seem to think they're completely above the responsibilities half of the equation.
I think you nailed it in the third paragraph. But yes, tenants can be assholes. The point in the WaPo story is that these folks don't appear to be bad tenants, just tenants who had bad things happen to them, and whose misfortunes were then piled on by the management company.
You know, Dok, I have noticed more ... passion* ... in comments lately. I was wondering if the rules had been relaxed. Since I really only get bothered over misogyny and limited other flavors of bullshit I let the violent ones go on by. I'm glad you have clarified this issue.

So, no slashing of tires, but nicking the nuts and bolts...
Oh, there are plenty of reasons, all of them with a $ in front. Late fees and charges is a lucrative grift all in its own.

Excellent analogy!
Oh my god, did my upvote stick? Is my upvoter fixed?
And is that somehow connected to all the goddamn back pain since Friday?
How about my rampant magical thinking?
No. He’ll be staging bum fights on PPV.
Finally. Is that individual banned now?
I just hope the shoe will be on the other foot for ins-Hannity one day.
other than that, as per usual, I wish him a long life in total agony.
I didn't know about this, so I went to google and starting to type "fire bombing of ..." and was surprised to see how many options popped up.
I dunno.. the one case, it sounded like Michael Cohen pretty much partnered with the opposing side to shake down his client (was it Broidy?).
I wouldn’t put it past Cohen to pull a scam on Hannity. Shit, he probably scams trump too, from time to time.
Also, the management company might just be kind of.. intentionally inept? Why try harder if you’re making more as is, and the boss isn’t complaining?

*aka violent threats
One thing you can tell is how many renters vote.
