I had a colleague who once pointed out to their landlord that something was not according to the law. The next day they come home from work and all their furniture was removed and the locks replaced.
Sure, you can take them to court, but most likely they'll let you know how they feel about that by sending some thugs.
Landlords can be the lowest scum of the earth. Many cooperations are great though, we never had any issues with them, they'd send someone quickly when asking for repairs, and were often very reasonable about things, etc.
There's significant overlap between organised - or semi-organised - crime and property rentals. It's not unusual for some landlords to also make money from prostitution, drug dealing, and sometimes extortion.
This doesn't mean all landlords are criminals. But if you have a greed-driven sociopathic mindset all of the above are very attractive, and it's not hard to make them work together.
