If nothing else, landlords should be held to much stricter standards for maintenance and the overall state of their properties.

What’d make sense for me is if a rental has a documented history of being poorly maintained, past some threshold the property can be auctioned off, with the proceeds going towards funding public housing. This should help filter slumlords and bare-minimum-effort speculators.
