We believe the answer is no — but corporate landlords increasingly make it a living hell (worse than an ex-spouse) when tenants dare ask them to prove it.
Instead of transparency, tenants are met with delays, intimidation, and fabricated charges. What should be a simple request for records turns into a grind designed to exhaust people emotionally, financially, and physically.
This isn’t theoretical for me. I’m litigating this exact issue — whether a landlord can invent a debt without evidence — in a Dallas district court.
At its core, the question is simple:
Does truth still matter, or can power replace it?
