Arkansas: The Worst Place to Rent in America

Arkansas: The Worst Place to Rent in America Subscribe to VICE News here:  http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Arkansas is one of the worst places to be a renter in America. It is the only state in the US where tenants are treated as criminals for paying rent late and landlords are not required by law to maintain their properties.  Its failure-to-vacate law lets landlords give tenants a 10-day eviction notice if they are even one day overdue.

It prompted a demonstration by hundreds of  people who blocked traffic in the city on March 30.  The same day, hacktivist group Anonymous took down the APD's website...

Corruption blogger, Ean Bordeaux provided hot dogs to his local community in his spare time. According to Ean, he awoke at 4:00 am to the sound of his dogs barking. Looking at his security monitors, he saw that his hot dog cart in his yard was on fire. He rushed down to put out the flames which were now lapping against his house and threatening his cart’s propane tank. Ean burned his hands putting out the fire, and immediately called the police. Fifteen minutes later, watching his video monitor while waiting for police to arrive, he saw a man approach the cart (apparently for a second time). The unidenti...
