At a recent public forum sponsored by our state legislators, several small landlords mentioned how they assist needy tenants by reducing their rents below market rates, some by as much as 50%.
In all the housing articles I've seen, there has been no mention of this private, voluntary rental assistance. Worse than that, government "rent stabilization" programs penalize these generous landlords, while helping the wealthy owners of large apartment buildings.
It is high time to include this source of private rental assistance in articles on this topic.
