There is often a perception that landlords are rich guys who are taking advantage of underprivileged folks. Unfortunately, there are often cases of a landlords treating their tenants poorly or not maintaining their properties. In cases like New York, there are far more renters than landlords so cases of deadbeat landlords tend to make headlines. States then feel compelled to to "protect renters" because one bad landlord must mean we are all terrible. Law makers are generally not landlords so they don't know what it is really like. The best thing you can do is talk to your representatives so they can learn what their regulations are doing to their constituents.
