Too many slumlords

Dear editor:

In Garland County:

Fine for having commodes filled with flowers in your yard: $10,000.

Fine for texting while driving: $100.

Fine for having a rusty, falling apart mobile home and renting it to criminals: $0.

Disgust to all the landlords who don't screen potential renters or keep rental property in good condition, you have helped earn Arkansas the title "Worst Place to Retire." By renting to criminals, you are providing them a base for their nefarious operations.

Seems we have too many slumlords and not enough elected officials who care about our safety, property values, decent housing and crime.
