"Buying up all the houses currently for sale, so that your only option is renting, and that at a rate we control" is bad.
("All" is an exaggeration, of course. But they have enough capital that they can significantly reduce the available market in several metro areas. The claim is that they do exactly that.)
Rented a house for Invitation Homes, which is owned by black rock. Showed up all the windows were open didn’t think much of it; signed the contract.
Closed the windows, hour later call them up, complaining about the chemical smell. Took three months to get resolved. I was in an out of the hospital for months. Years for family to recover.
Leaking gas, which in a first for me didn’t smell like rotten eggs. They kept blaming the new carpet or paint or whatever else.
and to add to the fun, carbine monoxide from 2 sources. Included alarm with house was faulty.
Plus we were all acting like zombies. Bad smell made us keep windows open most of the time. Otherwise would have died. As it was gas company freaked out at how bad it was
