You know the old adage, which I simply put –
Those who ignore History, are bound to (condemned to) repeat it. 

So, having not effectively addressed, previously, the on-going mutations of the housing Universe, nothing much has changed. Despite good intentions of legislature, to enact byelaws to shield the vulnerable 

My passage through this system, a decade ago, has been similarly fraught. Any lessons then, have not been learnt, or learnt but not being applied, to improve the quality, efficiency of the system, as it stands, to alleviate misery, trauma, general well-being of vulnerable people seeking help, falling off the cliff, into homelessness or inappropriate (temp) housing… 

A lot of “landlords” are rogue and they get away with their obscene modus operandi.
