Deposits should be held by the city. The landlord should be forced to prove they deserve it in a court of law. (lemmy.ml)

Shouldn't be a issue since landlords never lie to keep deposits right?

Or just make some laws about impartiality, and use fines and loss of licence as punishment. Lastly, allow renters to choose the inspector.

Unfortunately in many places houses are rare and landlords can choose from a wide range of interested renters. They can always choose the renter that is willing to pay for the inspection completely and choose the inspection company favoured by the landlord.

If you’re going to ask the government to step in, I would suggest to make building more housing easier.
