President Donald Trump's son-in-law, real-estate czar Jared Kushner, is a "neglectful and litigious" landlord, reports The New York Times, which investigated his multi-family Baltimore property holdings.
"There is a clear pattern of Kushner Companies' pursuing tenants over virtually any unpaid rent or broken lease — even in the numerous cases where the facts appear to be on the tenants' side," Alec MacGillis writes in this Sunday's New York Times Magazine.
"Not only does the company file cases against them, it pursues the cases for as long as it takes to collect from the overmatched defendants — often several years ..."
"Hounding former tenants for money means paying to send out process servers who often report back that they were unable to locate the target. This does not deter Kushner Companies' lawyers. They send the servers back out again a few months later."
Kushner Companies, which controls 15 multifamily complexes in the Baltimore area, told the Times it has a "fiduciary obligation" to its ownership partners to collect as much revenue as it can.
