i doubt i am alone in been one of the poor soles who lives on a street where a few properties have been bought up by housing agencies who couldnt give a toss who they rent out to as long as they get the the rent

now this isnt a dig at anyone renting property i have done so my self in the past but theres always that one family that moves into a house and all hell hits the street from drug dealing , prostitution and rioting in the streets an destruction of other peoples property ie: windows cars etc

what i ask is should landlords be held accountable for their tennants actions and have to take out some kind of liabilty insurance so that if their tennants go about destroying other peoples property the victim can claim against their insurance

this may well make landlords check out people properly before renting out to any old scumbag
