| High
rates of
drug
use,
domestic
violence,
and
gang-related
activity
are some
of the
problems
managers
of
multi-housing
units
often
have to
deal
with,
sometimes
on a
daily
basis. Criminals
such as
drug
dealers
and gang
members
are
likely
to seek
out
run-down
complexes,
betting
that
their
activities
will go
unnoticed
by
inattentive
landlords.
The
consequences
are
taxing
on law
enforcement
services
and
threatening
to the
health
and
safety
of
families
living
in and
around
rental
complexes.
However,
apartment
managers
and
owners
have the
capacity
to make
their
communities
safe and
desirable
places
to live.
