Landlords and corrupt public officials have frequently abused the law, which is unlike landlord-tenant law in any other state in the union. No kidding.

Let's say rent is $1000 and it hasn't been paid in 3 months and will never be paid. What is the difference between that and stealing $3,000 worth of cash or goods. If you steal, say $3,000 from Costco, wouldn't you expect to be arrested and go to jail? There are Govt programs for housing assistance. Instead of stealing, it would be much better to use the programs designed for sloths that already in place, and avoid jail.

>> Arkansas law jails tenants who don’t pay their rent If a person doesn't pay their rent in Arkansas, the landlord can evict them after ten days. If they refuse to leave after eviction, they are guilty of a misdemeanor, and possibly could go to jail. I really don't see the problem. How many rent-free days should a person get? If I own the property and tell you to leave and you refuse to do it, why SHOULDN'T you be charged? (Having lived here a good portion of my life, I've never once heard of anyone "going to jail" in this manner, so it is hardly a major problem).
