Wall Street investors just see opportunity.

it is urgent that we take steps to protect renters from predatory schemes and ensure that corporate landlords at least follow the rules that are in place.

Rents are up 15 percent nationally, compared to just a year ago.

I proposed creating a new Tenant Protection Bureau, which would allow tenants to easily file complaints against unscrupulous landlords.
