There is little I can say that would add to the many wonderful comments that have already been made. I will though join in to say that I too have witnessed first hand Benjamin Shaoul's illegal tactics. Many people have been subjected to physical and emotional harassment at the hands of Mr. Shaoul himself, or one of his many cronies. Without spending a chunk of my work day (yes, I actually have a job) detailing the many cases of abuse, I will say that everything that has been said about his methods are true, and without exaggeration. There are actually decent landlords in this city. There are even a few big landlords that are not so bad to deal with, in the grand scheme of things. Mr. Shaoul is not one of them. There are dozens more unreported, or unmentioned stories that illuminate his character. One word of advice, if he buys the building that you are in, make sure the tenants organize immediately and document everything. Get in touch with the media, and keep them posted. This is a story that is just starting to unfold, and if everyone could just get together you will start to affect this man where it matters most to him, in his wallet.
