The Tragedy of Tenants

Throwing the inhabitants of a house into the street when the head of the family is ill is a crime.

An ill head of a family cannot work to pay the rent of a house, and to throw him out onto the street with all his family is a crime.

Removing a family from their home, who cannot pay the rent because they have no money to pay it due to illness or lack of work, is criminal.

Throwing out a family that has had an economic failure and that cannot pay the rent of the house, is criminal.

Housing is something very sacred and it is unfair to throw the sick out of their homes, those who are without work, the disabled, those who have had some economic failure and who can not afford the rent of the house, etc., etc.

All laws that currently exist to control tenants are unfair because the creators of such laws are proprietors of houses. Many legislators own buildings and possess even several thousand houses that they rent out.

It is clear that those who have created the laws on tenants, have not acted justly, because no one can be judge and interested party at the same time.

The legislator who creates a law on tenancy, if he owns a few houses, will create the law at his arrangement, according to his selfish interests, because he will not be foolish enough to put the knife in his own neck.

In these circumstances, the current laws are cruel to tenants, inhuman, monstrous. Actually the current laws are in favour of the landlords and against the tenants.

The landlords are the ones who have created the laws on tenancy, the current legislators are rich landlords.

The time has come to comprehend the tragedy of the people; tenants must create tenant unions and leagues, tenants’ alliances.

Unity is Strength; united tenants can form powerful social movements capable of transforming the world.

The Latin American Christian Socialist Party should create tenant alliances, tenant leagues, tenant unions everywhere.

Groups of united tenants should fight to save families in disgrace when actuaries want to throw them out onto the street.

It is necessary that the landlords know how to wait for the honest tenants, they can pay the rent of the house if they are given the opportunity.

Let those who have no family and waste money on all kinds of vices and pleasures be thrown out onto the street.

Let the cheaters and villains who have money and do not want to pay be thrown out into the street.

It is unfair to throw honest people out onto the street for the only crime of not being able to pay the rent of the house.

Let the authorities investigate first and very well, not only the name and surname of the tenant, but his private life, his habits, his occupation, etc., before throwing them out onto the street .

Governments should protect tenants and not be against tenants.

Every living being needs protection, this example is given by nature, parents protect their children. The sun protects the Earth with its life; every mother defends and feeds her children.

It is very serious that governments, instead of defending the poor people who can not pay the rent of the house, send their henchmen to throw them out onto the street.

It is horrible to see in the big cities extraordinary cases of horrible injustices.

Thousands of utterly poor people have been forcibly removed from their humble homes with the purpose of creating in the area elegant residential colonies occupied by wealthy people.

These poor people usually relocate somewhere else in the big cities and build their new homes with walls of cardboard and cans.

When we have visited such cities, our friends have tried to separate us from such places of starkness and poverty, and always with beautiful words prefer to show us the sumptuous residences and areas of rich people.

As much as they try to conceal the misery of the poor tenants, there it is begging heaven for justice.

And this social scourge is the same in Moscow as in New York, the same in Mexico as in Paris, it is totally global.

While there are landlords legislating, there will be the tragedy of the tenants. It is necessary that united tenants fight for their rights, only then can they defend themselves against the tyranny of landlords.

The selfish ego of the landlords is cruel and ruthless for the sake of filling the bag with money and more money, they do not have the slightest trouble throwing out onto the street the hungry, sick and unhappy tenants.

The greed of the landlords has no limit, the greedy ego always wants to raise more and more the price of the houses’ rent without caring a damn about the sacrifice of the tenants.

The cunning of the landlords instead of decreasing increases frightfully and is combined with cruelty.

If a poor widow with many children only has money to pay in advance the first month of renting a house, it is irretrievably lost because the landlord demands two months in advance, guarantors and documents.

Many poor mothers have died of cold in the parks of large cities.

The ego of each landlord is cruel and ruthless, has no compassion, does not know the most elementary principles of Universal Charity.

In these circumstances, the tenants have only one way left: join, work together in the fight against the landlords until they beat them.

It is necessary that men of goodwill work for the common good by spreading this doctrine of the Social Christ, making publications, organizing groups of tenants, founding leagues of tenants, alliances, unions, etc., etc., etc.
