Hi Lawyers,
Are most slumlords fearless because any issues that come up in courts will probably only be torts? Should a slumlord fear any kind of criminal law? Like inchoate offenses perhaps?
Thanks

The modern era of "slumlord" typically maintains housing at the bottom end of the market, putting the minimum amount of resources into maintenance - just enough to pass inspection.Quoting Thanks
Like attempt, solicitation or conspiracy? I'm not sure how that would apply to a typical slumlord.Quoting Thanks
What if, through internal memos and such, you could prove that a statewide slumlord was, for example, conspiring not to return tenants' deposits? Like "Employees, our policy is not to return deposits under any circumstances. If you are asked, simply say that it will be coming in the mail shortly."?
The state attorney general's office might be interested in any such evidence, such that they could take appropriate legal action against the landlord.
