We all know what a Slumlord is - someone who preys on the poor, offering substandard housing and using unethical business practices to trap tennants into paying outrageous prices for shoddy apartments.
There are charitable legal aid remedies for poor people caught in a net by these awful slumlords, but these remedies are not available to apartment dwellers who are in a middling sort of status - incomes too high to qualify for legal aid, not well enough connected to be a threat to an unethical landlord. From my own experience, it can actually be difficult to find a lawyer who knows much about tennants' rights who is available for hire at all.
A Scumlord is an unethical landlord who preys on people who fall in this donut hole - people whose income disqualifies them from getting the legal help they need to fight back.
Unfortunately for Scumlords, they aren't as web-savvy as the people they are taking advantage of. This website is dedicated to fighting back against scumlords. Our mission is to google-bomb the names of unethical landlords until this site has a better web-presence on searches for their names than their own sites do. We want to let prospective tenants know to run - don't walk - away from these people.
