Abuses of Tenancy System and Calls for Reform
The piece argues that abuses in tenancy must be corrected by law if not peaceably. It cites 65 000 tenant farmers and says about 40 percent pay rent directly while the remaining 39 000 pay through brokers, who take a third or a fourth and profit by subletting. It urges owners to manage properties personally or hire trusted agents, not participate in speculative practices, and leaves legislative action to address the system’s inequities.
