First, it’s the 4th Amendment that protects from unlawful seizures of property, not the 5th. Second, seizing a property because the owner has failed to maintain it and keep it up to code would not be unlawful, as they have failed to uphold their side of the legal bargain that is “you can be the landlord as long as your property is livable”

How is that any different from something like foreclosure. If you break the law or can't pay you lose your property.

Foreclose u waive right cuz mortgage. Just from what I know usually penalties gotta be super sever with a huge amount of Lien by government and even then private sale makes more sense before gov sells it off. Plus most states have super strict auction rules so the owner doesn't get screwed.

Wouldn't be shock but I think the whole picking the landlord under the third party transfer thing raises legitimate constitutional questions

Yeah you right, I don’t think it would be considered a taking to relieve a clearly irresponsible slumlord of the responsibilities he’s not taking care of though.

The third party transfer program was originally started in 1996 under Republican mayor Rudy Giuliani and lasted until 2019
