Download or read book The Great Rent Wars written by Robert M. Fogelson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by one of the country's foremost urban historians, "The Great Rent Wars" tells the fascinating but little-known story of the battles between landlords and tenants in the nation's largest city from 1917 through 1929. These conflicts were triggered by the post-war housing shortage, which prompted landlords to raise rents, drove tenants to go on rent strikes, and spurred the state legislature, a conservative body dominated by upstate Republicans, to impose rent control in New York, a radical and unprecedented step that transformed landlord-tenant relations. "The Great Rent Wars" traces the tumultuous history of rent control in New York from its inception to its expiration as it unfolded in New York, Albany, and Washington, D.C. At the heart of this story are such memorable figures as Al Smith, Fiorello H. La Guardia, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, as well as a host of tenants, landlords, judges, and politicians who have long been forgotten. Fogelson also explores the heated debates over landlord-tenant law, housing policy, and other issues that are as controversial today as they were a century ago.

Book Synopsis The Anti-Rent Era in New York Law and Politics, 1839-1865 by : Charles W. McCurdy
Download or read book The Anti-Rent Era in New York Law and Politics, 1839-1865 written by Charles W. McCurdy and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-06-19 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling blend of legal and political history, this book chronicles the largest tenant rebellion in U.S. history. From its beginning in the rural villages of eastern New York in 1839 until its collapse in 1865, the Anti-Rent movement impelled the state's governors, legislators, judges, and journalists, as well as delegates to New York's bellwether constitutional convention of 1846, to wrestle with two difficult problems of social policy. One was how to put down violent tenant resistance to the enforcement of landlord property and contract rights. The second was how to abolish the archaic form of land tenure at the root of the rent strike. Charles McCurdy considers the public debate on these questions from a fresh perspective. Instead of treating law and politics as dependent variables--as mirrors of social interests or accelerators of social change--he highlights the manifold ways in which law and politics shaped both the pattern of Anti-Rent violence and the drive for land reform. In the process, he provides a major reinterpretation of the ideas and institutions that diminished the promise of American democracy in the supposed "golden age" of American law and politics.

Book excerpt: THE WORDING OF HB 1407 - 83.46: Florida Statute 83 Landlord and Tenant - Requires Your Respectful Concern and Attention To Clarify Its Obvious Defect In Upper Class Bias: (as is proposed in the revised portion of 83.46 Rent; duration of tenancies, ) To Define The Rights Of Tenants and The Good Faith Responsibility of this Legislature To Protect The Working Middle-Class From Excessive Predatory Yearly Lease Rent Increases, in which Corporate Criminal or Foreign Intrigue Landlords can raise their Captive Market Tenant's Rents to any amounts they please and with each yearly rents increases they please, ad infinitum, without any Public Legal Scrutiny, and with being upheld to by "The Upper-Class Mentality" Florida Legislature. (The ideas presented in HB 1407, that Landlords have the options to raise rents up to 5% and that increase after that be subject to Nonbinding Arbitration at the Tenant's Expense, and potentially running into thousands of dollars at the Tenant's Expense in discouragement, ) is an obviously intended Upper-Class Supportive Implant displaying no concern for the affordability of Available Public Housing and the overall combined survivability of The Working Middle-Class, and who are Taxpaying Citizens of this State also who need To Be Represented. What WE are after here in this Amendment to HB 1407 is a statement of the Florida Legislature's to provide us with overall concern for "Rent Stabilization" out of respect for the feasible economics of the Real-World Working Market Economy to afford their domiciles. LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATION IN FLORIDA CONCERNS "ALL OF THE PEOPLE" AND NOT JUST, "SOME," OF THE PEOPLE: The Wealthy Developers and Corporate Landlords. 83.46 Rent; duration of tenancies.- 189. (4) A landlord must provide to a tenant a written notice, 190. by certified mail or hand delivery, of a planned rent increase 191. at least 60 days before the rental agreement renewal period. If 192. the rent increase is more than 5 percent, the landlord must 193. provide notice, by certified mail or hand delivery, at least 3 194. months before the rental agreement renewal period. If the rent 195. increase is more than 5 percent; the notice must also contain a 196. statement that the tenant may elect to participate in nonbinding 197. mediation, at the expense of the tenant, by providing written 198. notice to the landlord, by certified mail or hand delivery, 199. within 14 days after receipt of the notice of the rent increase. 200. For a tenancy without a specific duration, the landlord must 201. provide written notice, by certified mail or hand delivery, of a 202. planned rent increase within the timeframes provided in s. 203. 83.57. The wording here, for this part 83.46 of Chapter 83 needs to be re-written: that once a Landlord and Tenant have settled-in on the cost of what their "Initial Yearly Rent" is to be, "Offer and Acceptance," then the Landlords then are not permitted to raise the amount of that yearly Rental Agreement more than 3% or GNDP Cost Of Living, or to otherwise for the Landlords to have to petition the Florida Department of Housing and Tenant's Rights to Show Cause why such amount of increase should be granted, for fair profit motives or for bottom line expenses.

Book excerpt: This is a Summary of Matthew Desmond's New York Times Bestseller: EVICTED Poverty and Profit in the American CityFrom Harvard sociologist and MacArthur "Genius" Matthew Desmond, a landmark work of scholarship and reportage that will forever change the way we look at poverty in America In this brilliant, heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of eight families on the edge. Arleen is a single mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their rundown apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse consumed by a heroin addiction. Lamar, a man with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to work his way out of debt. Vanetta participates in a botched stickup after her hours are cut. All are spending almost everything they have on rent, and all have fallen behind.The fates of these families are in the hands of two landlords: Sherrena Tarver, a former schoolteacher turned inner-city entrepreneur, and Tobin Charney, who runs one of the worst trailer parks in Milwaukee. They loathe some of their tenants and are fond of others, but as Sherrena puts it, "Love don't pay the bills." She moves to evict Arleen and her boys a few days before Christmas.Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, evictions used to be rare. But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their income on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers. In vivid, intimate prose, Desmond provides a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today. As we see families forced into shelters, squalid apartments, or more dangerous neighborhoods, we bear witness to the human cost of America's vast inequality-and to people's determination and intelligence in the face of hardship.Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, this masterful book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.Available in a variety of formats, this summary is aimed for those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the current time to devour all 432 pages.

Download or read book Urban Castles written by Jared N. Day and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first comprehensive investigation of the role of landlords in shaping the urban landscapes of today, Jared Day explores the unique case of New York City from the close of the nineteenth century through the World War II era. During this period, tenement landlords were responsible for designing and shaping America's urban landscapes, building housing for the city's ever-growing industrial workforce. Fueled by the illusion of easy money, entrepreneurs managed their buildings in ways that punished compassion and rewarded neglect--and created some of the most haunting images of urban squalor in American history. Urban Castles mines a previously uninvestigated body of tenant and landlord newspapers, journals, and real estate records to understand how tenement landlords operated in an era before tenant rights developed into a central issue for urban reformers. Day contends that--perhaps more than any other group of property owners--urban landlords stood upon the very fault lines of class, ethnicity, and race. In contrast to many urban histories set in executive boardrooms and state houses, and which chronicle struggles between large corporations, government officials, and organized labor, this fascinating work deals with the more chaotic world of small-scale entrepreneurs and their frequently antagonistic relationships with their customers--working-class tenants. Urban Castles is a richly informative chronicle of the dark underbelly of America's emerging welfare state. The neglected side of this important story covered by Day's research says much about the sea changes in landlord-tenant relations and urban policy today.

Book excerpt: One of TIME’s Best New Books to Read This Summer “Brilliant—a keen, elegantly written, and scorching account of the American family today. Through vivid stories, sharp analysis and wit, Quart anatomizes the middle class’s fall while also offering solutions and hope.” — Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed Families today are squeezed on every side—from high childcare costs and harsh employment policies to workplaces without paid family leave or even dependable and regular working hours. Many realize that attaining the standard of living their parents managed has become impossible. Alissa Quart, executive editor of the Economic Hardship Reporting Project, examines the lives of many middle-class Americans who can now barely afford to raise children. Through gripping firsthand storytelling, Quart shows how our country has failed its families. Her subjects—from professors to lawyers to caregivers to nurses—have been wrung out by a system that doesn’t support them, and enriches only a tiny elite. Interlacing her own experience with close-up reporting on families that are just getting by, Quart reveals parenthood itself to be financially overwhelming, except for the wealthiest. She offers real solutions to these problems, including outlining necessary policy shifts, as well as detailing the DIY tactics some families are already putting into motion, and argues for the cultural reevaluation of parenthood and caregiving. Writtenin the spirit of Barbara Ehrenreich and Jennifer Senior, Squeezed is an eye-opening page-turner. Powerfully argued, deeply reported, and ultimately hopeful, it casts a bright, clarifying light on families struggling to thrive in an economy that holds too few options. It will make readers think differently about their lives and those of their neighbors.

Book Synopsis American Planters and Irish Landlords in Comparative and Transnational Perspective by : Cathal Smith
Download or read book American Planters and Irish Landlords in Comparative and Transnational Perspective written by Cathal Smith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-14 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first study to systematically explore similarities, differences, and connections between the histories of American planters and Irish landlords. The book focuses primarily on the comparative and transnational investigation of an antebellum Mississippi planter named John A. Quitman (1799–1858) and a nineteenth-century Irish landlord named Robert Dillon, Lord Clonbrock (1807–93), examining their economic behaviors, ideologies, labor relations, and political histories. Locating Quitman and Clonbrock firmly within their wider local, national, and international contexts, American Planters and Irish Landlords in Comparative and Transnational Perspective argues that the two men were representative of specific but comparable manifestations of agrarian modernity, paternalism, and conservatism that became common among the landed elites who dominated economy, society, and politics in the antebellum American South and in nineteenth-century Ireland. It also demonstrates that American planters and Irish landlords were connected by myriad direct and indirect transnational links between their societies, including transatlantic intellectual cultures, mutual participation in global capitalism, and the mass migration of people from Ireland to the United States that occurred during the nineteenth century.
