A slumlord is a derogatoty term for a person or corporation which provides housing for low income households at a price they can afford. Generally these low rent facilities lack the location, amenities, and upkeep of high rent facilities. Trump rented low income buildings as well as high rent buildings. Most real estate investors do.

Others would say that these slumlords are persons or groups providing a product the market demands

Donald Trump was a nightmare landlord in the 1980s



There's an episode in Donald Trump's past that shows just how far this billionaire businessman will go to get his way.

It began in 1981. Trump bought a 14-story building on prime real estate facing New York City's Central Park.

His plan was to tear down the building and replace it with luxury condos. But first he needed a small band of rent-stabilized tenants out of there.
To succeed, Trump played rough, according to lawsuits filed by the tenants. Renters said he cut heat and hot water, and he imposed tough building rules. Trump even proposed sheltering homeless people in the building.

It went on for five years as Trump fought tenants, real estate lawyers, New York state regulators and city officials.
CNNMoney reviewed 2,895 court documents -- most of them now only available on microfiche at New York state courts -- that detail a fight that's now largely forgotten.
The apartment buildng at 100 Central Park South, as seen in 2016, was the site of an epic battle between Trump and rent-stabilized tenants.

Paperview said:

A slumlord (or slum landlord) is a derogatory term for a landlord, generally an absentee landlord with more than one property, who attempts to maximize profit by minimizing spending on property maintenance, often in deteriorating neighborhoods. Severe housing shortages allow slumlords to charge higher rents, and when they can get away with it, to break rental laws.

Rent-control laws and ordinances, especially when imposed after a landlord has contracted to purchase a building for a given price and on a given payment schedule, may force a landlord to neglect maintenance in order to keep operating costs from exceeding expenditures so that the landlord will not go bankrupt and lose the property altogether (and in the process deprive tenants of even those substandard accommodations that they had before; see Hobson's choice).

Call it whatever you want, slappy.

I'm only too happy to show what a dirtbag scoundrel he was and always has been.

[h=3]NEW YORK - DOER AND SLUMLORD BOTH - NYTimes.com[/h]www.nytimes.com/.../new-york-doer-and-slumlord-both.html


The New York Times


Mar 9, 1985 -

"Donald Trump, the developer, is in the newspapers almost every day for one thing or another. If he isn't building a skyscraper castle or a football team, he is trying to harass some tenants out of one of his properties.

It's strange for a young man who so craves achievement, recognition, respectability and acceptance to mix into his master-builder activities the petty act of abusing tenants. Yet, though hard to explain, there seems little doubt that it has happened. Both the city and the state, in detailed papers, have brought actions against him for mistreatment of tenants - the state in an administrative proceeding and the city in a lawsuit seeking heavy fines.

<snip> The curious thing about his plans is that he knew that the building was pretty much fully occupied and that the apartments were protected by either rent control or rent stabilization.

The city and state papers allege that Mr. Trump and his agents proceeded to try to force out the 60 or more tenants by the following tactics: ''threats of imminent demolition,'' ''spurious litigation,'' ''drastic decreases in essential services,'' ''persistent delay in repairing defective conditions with life-threatening potential,'' ''instructing employees to obtain information about the private lives (and) sex habits of the tenants,'' and ''engaging in a psychological tug- of-war to wear the tenants down which has had a deleterious effect upon the health and well-being of said tenants, many of whom are elderly and are particularly vulnerable to defendants' persistent course of conduct.''
In sum, the city's lawsuit, which was filed last week, says that ''defendants have harassed daily the occupants of said units'' and that ''defendants' wrongful acts and omissions continue to date.''

By who?

People settle civil cases all the time. A 10,000 settlement is far cheaper than a million dollar court case and the accompanying legal fees.

yea
it is absurd to insist 'donald i'm gonna sue you tRump' did not contest the government's allegation of discrimination against people of color only because he did not want to hire a lawyer to challenge the government's case

Of course Trump hires lawyers when he's involved in court disputes.

I cannot find any evidence of a fine. Not even a criminal case that could have resulted in a fine. Consent decrees are not generally an admission of guilt. So no, an allegation.
