Abstract:
A year after The Independent’s 1990 report on rental property conditions and the behavior of landlords in the Triangle Area, some progress has been made. Durham has created a Housing Appeals Board and a bill has passed the state House proposing housing reforms. Minimum standards still do not exist in Wake County or Durham County and proposals to create them have been slow or nonexistent. Low-income individuals and rural residents continue to suffer the most under current conditions.

Abstract:
The need for affordable housing often conflicts with the desire of neighborhoods to control the residents who live there. This problem is growing in Raleigh, and many feel they are being forced out of neighborhoods in the city because they are not like their wealthy, white neighbors. Landlords who rent houses and their tenants are frequently targeted in neighborhood groups. Both sides speak out about the growing problem.
