When a lawmaker is your landlord: Capitol Hill is packed with senators, House members, and senior staff who rent out property

There is no limit, under current law, on how much money members of Congress can make as landlords.

I suspect this is true in almost every country. Which also explains why the laws benefitting them never change.
In general, members of Congress and their senior staff members are not allowed to earn more than $29,595 in income outside their federal salary. But rental properties are exempted from these limits, as are certain other earnings including from stock trades and book deals.

If someone told Trump that the Dems are earning millions in real estate and rental income, I wonder what he would do.
