"Problem property" is also used to describe any land or building that has negative issues associated with it, such as difficulty to sell, uncertain ownership, flooding, etc. In the rental-property industry, the theory is that landlords have a duty to ensure tenants will not engage in criminal behavior that affects the quality of life of neighbors. And that the failure of some landlords to screen applicants appropriately for their units can lead to greater criminality and lower quality of life in some neighborhoods. Critics claim that it is in the political interest of local-government officials and police to shift the blame for crime from the criminals and the responsibility for fighting crime themselves to nearby property owners. This is a common strategy in community policing. == See also == Stigmatized property == References == - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs/Section 2 - Signs and Display]] - [[Digital Architecture/ePractice/GIS and Spatial Analysis]] - [[Professional Practice/Public & Cultural]] - [[History and Theory]] - [[Building Services/Electrical Systems]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/International Building Codes]] - [[Environmental Design/Design Psychology]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 08 - Building Services/Section 1 - Lighting and Ventilation]] - [[Building Services]] - [[Building Construction/Construction & Materials/Building Material/Metals and Alloys]]
