    Not to say that those laws aren’t super shitty but: the difference is that you know you’re renting your apartment.

    It’s more like the federal government selling the territory your house is on to a different country, without arranging ownership rights.

      Yeah I know it’s kind of tangential to the whole government selling the land your house is on thing - it just makes me more sympathetic coming from a state where they believe anything the fed government does is overreach, yet the state lawmakers keep selling off more and more of our national public lands to oil and gas interests. And where tenants are without any rights to fight back about anything.
