Based on conversations with a variety of stakeholders working on tenant's rights in New York City as well as a thorough review of literature, we identified 6 critical types of actions that are taken by predatory landlords: identified are property identification, building financing, construction, building management involvement, legal proceedings, and illegal deregulation. While obviously not capturing all tactics of predatory landlords, these areas of action and the behaviors described in the process diagram below (Table 1) provide the foundation for an analysis of predatory landlord behavior throughout the property ownership cycle.
