The thing is, what you describe is incredibly rare, to the point of being a statistical anomaly.

Also, if you take the “low income” piece out of it, abusing others and cheating the system to save money is “just good business.” Ask all the millionaires doing immoral but TECHNICALLY legal things on their taxes.

    You're mistaken, sadly. It doesn't happen more often because people got smart to it and no longer put their houses for rent for longer periods.

    And I don't get your whatabout millionaires comment. My comment was that not all squatting hurts landlords, some hurt regular people. I don't need to ask millionaires about it because it's not about them, it's about middle class people.
