Slumlord

A person who rents out a property that is substandard & refuses to make major repairs unless issued a notice of uninhabitability. Even after receiving the notice they make minimal attempts to make repairs, ex: putting weather stripping on doorway instead of fixing foundation to remedy huge gap in door. Usually he rents out multiple properties for financial gain with at least one of them being an illegal rental. The slumlord often resides in a giant new build down the street.

I had to get a constructive eviction because the slumlord didn't make necessary repairs.
