Pacific Heights

In the movie, the new owners of the property seemed too naive to understand how to be successful landlords, even though their intentions to start off were good. They would probably be considered fine landlords if all of their tenants were respectful, had good hearts, and were willing to equally participate in the landlord/tenant relationship. However, since they got one ‘dud’ tenant who bred tons of disgusting cock roaches and refused to pay his rent, the couple was portrayed as a pair of push-overs. I don’t know what happened in the remainder of the movie, but in the portion I saw, they tried to take legal action to force out the unruly tenant, but it didn’t work. I think that there should have been a law that could have been enforced so they wouldn’t have to deal with all of that bad stuff, especially while she happened to be pregnant.
