I wish these "owners" would try lol

Unless you live in some redneck shit hole, you still have some rights if you pay rent in more civilized parts of the country.

New York City is the land of owners, and while there a ton of pro-tenant laws on the books, the reality is that they aren't worth the paper they are printed on if they won't ever be enforced in a way that isn't a burden to the tenant. So maybe your ignorant comment of "redneck shit holes" should be examined, and contextualized.

Try getting enforcing any tenant rights in the South...

At least in some parts of the country, you can go to the court and get a judge who will look at the facts and law.
