Should Landlords Act Like Parents?

How would you enjoy your landlord going parental on you by scolding and punishing you?

Yep, that nightmare might arrive for unfortunate renters in Chambersburg, Pa. A new ordinance is being discussed that would hold landlords responsible for tenant's bad behavior. Yikes!

Still, this ridiculous suggestion must sound appealing to some neighbors....
