	City Project \| Commentary \| Absentee Landlord Surcharge
		The Absentee Landlord Tax, as it is known, is expected to generate at least $44 million in much-needed revenues for the city in its first full year, to help close looming budget gaps of at least $1.8 billion, $3.4 billion, and $3.9 billion for Fiscal Years 2005 - 2007.
		And even with the Absentee Landlord Tax Surcharge, they will, in fact, continue to be taxed at a lower rate, on a smaller portion of the assessed value of their properties, and have tax increases phased in more slowly, than owners of other residential properties, including co-op and condo homeowners, and all commercial owners.
		Finally, for tax purposes, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, an absentee landlord of residential rental properties is an absentee landlord of residential rental properties -regardless of the number of rental apartments or size of the building.

	A. Tucker's Big Four: Absentee Landlordism
		Absentee landlord rent, and exclusion of homesteaders from vacant land by an absentee landlord, are both considered illegitimate by mutualists.
		For example, he wrote, absentee landlordism itself compelled the cultivation of marginal land to a degree that would not occur were all vacant land open to cultivation, and thus increased the differential between the best and worst land under cultivation.
		He believed that absentee landlord rent far outweighed it in importance, and that it could be safely left alone so long as landlordism was abolished.

	INVESTMENT
		The landlord accomplishes investment in the vineyard by planting and hedging it, and then building the wine press and tower (I don't know the purpose of the tower unless it was needed as a "lookout" platform to enable observation of the approach of robbers who would "hijack" the crop).
		Implicitly, then, the landlord functions both as a "capitalist" in the modern sense of the word, and as an entrepreneur in undertaking the venture which turns out to be riskier than he had imagined.
		Although the workers kill the landlord's son (or reject the stone which eventually becomes the corner stone), even they, wicked as they are, still may have a chance to come back to work in the vineyard (participate in the Kingdom) if only they will confess and renounce their sin of killing the landlord's own son.

	Callahan’s Cleveland Diary » Blog Archive » Why the killer lives on West 98th Street
		Current landlord/tenant laws do mandate that a landlord evict a tenant when the landlord has information from a Law enforcement officer, based on a legal search, that the tenant, the tenant’s guest, or a member of the tenants’ household is involved in drug activity in connection with the premises.
		It won’t be just deputizing landlords (or criminalizing their lack of diligence) and it shouldn’t be fllisting all “former felons” but a combination of approaches that build on the good sense of all involved (including neighbors, police, community organizations, local churches and civic groups…as well as landlords) to make a safer community.
		Landlords who don’t give a rat’s ass about the Ohio Revised Code and knowingly allow illegal activity to occur (Ohio law requires landlords to evict anyone they know is committing crimes on their property), et cetera.

	Guardian \| Will reform give owners a new lease of life?
		Assuming that the landlord has responsibility for repair of the exterior as is generally the case, the leaseholders could apply to the county court requesting that it appoint a manager under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987.
		As mentioned, under the current law the landlord cannot seek to forfeit the lease (bring it to an end) without first taking the dispute to the tribunal for resolution, but the landlord could make a claim for the sums owed in the county court.
		If the landlord were to take the matter to the county court and obtain a judgment to recover any charges at all then the leaseholders could be required to pay some or all of the landlord's costs.

		Landlords would be free to pass on the surcharge—roughly $570 per building—to their tenants.
		An absentee landlord is exempt from the surcharge if the house is occupied by the owner’s mother, father, son, or daughter—even if they pay rent.
		The surcharge on absentee landlords applies disproportionately to property in over-assessed areas, exacerbating the problems of poor neighborhoods—many of which are just making a comeback now.

	FONOVISA, INC. v. CHERRY AUCTION, INC., 76 F.3d 259 (9th Cir. 1996) (LOISLAW)
		In one line of cases, the landlord-tenant cases, the courts had held that a landlord who lacked knowledge of the infringing acts of its tenant and who exercised no control over the leased premises was not liable for infringing sales by its tenant.
		In the district court's view, with respect to both control and financial benefit, Cherry Auction was in the same position as an absentee landlord who has surrendered its exclusive right of occupancy in its leased property to its tenants.
		[14] This analogy to absentee landlord is not in accord with the facts as alleged in the district court and which we, for purposes of appeal, must accept.

		Absentee landlord rent, and exclusion of homesteaders from vacant land by an absentee landlord, are both considered illegitimate by mutualists.
		The actual occupant is considered the owner of a tract of land, and any attempt to collect rent by a self-styled landlord is regarded as a violent invasion of the possessor's absolute right of property.
		He is thus, necessarily, an “absentee landlord.” And Carson has also just said: “Absentee landlord rent, and exclusion of homesteaders [i.e., presumably the second occupant-user] from vacant land by an absentee landlord, are both considered illegitimate by mutualists.

	Intimations of the Year of Jubilee in the Parables of the Wicked Tenants and Workers in the Vineyard
		Unlike Thomas 93:1, the owner of the vineyard is not characterized as "a good man." He is an absentee landlord, and, like most absentee landlords in advanced agrarian society, he probably exploited the labor of his tenants by contracting for rent funds of 40 to 50 per cent of their agricultural produce.
		To imagine God to be like an absentee landlord would be a disturbing anomaly for Jewish peasants but not necessarily for those who would tend to identify themselves with the absentee landlord and approve of killing the tenants, namely the ruling elite.
		For them the absentee landlord would be metaphorically identified with God on the basis of the intended association of the introduction with Isaiah's "Song of the Vineyard," and the vineyard must necessarily symbolize Israel.
