Long Island renters: There's trouble everywhere

First, there's news that landlord Wilson Milord was indicted yesterday on three counts of criminally negligent homicide in connection with the death of three tenants from carbon monoxide poisoning at a West Babylon home he owned. Suffolk District Attorney Thomas Spota told Newsday that Milord "refused to provide electricity to tenants living in the house ... and instead placed a gasoline-powered generator inside the building."

Now comes news that a man posing as a real estate agent, police say, took $2,000 from a family to rent out a Roosevelt home he had no authority to rent. Baldwin resident Gregory Garvin was charged today with grand larceny and fraud in the real estate scam, according to Newsday.
