Landlords need legal, cost consequences

BELLOWS FALLS — RE: “Anatomy of an eviction” [Aug. 25]:

Does anyone really believe that the landlords, who have at least two homes for themselves, couldn't make the mortgage and afford repairs just because they allegedly weren't receiving rent for a few months from a single apartment?

If they had a typical mortgage and were receiving typical rents for this area, they had a highly profitable situation.

We need severe legal and financial consequences for landlords like this.
