> A person was legally required… The law is not always just. At one point it was illegal for women to vote, for minorities to work for free, for nations to invade others, etc. A man bought a ticket, was seated in his paid for ticket, then instructed that he didn't really purchase that seat and must leave. What makes this legal? Likely some sub-clause in the 4 point typeface on the back of the ticket? Are you ok with being forcibly evicted from your apartment because there is some sub-clause that allows the landlord to evict you if his kin/employee needs a room? That isn't allowed because that happened in our past and our laws correct that misbehaviour. Perhaps our laws need to be revised again?

> Are you ok with being forcibly evicted from your apartment because there is some sub-clause that allows the landlord to evict you if his kin/employee needs a room? Yes. Partly because my parents had that own sub-clause in their tenancy agreement and exercised it to allow me to move back home when I really needed it. It's a common sub-clause permissible in cases where the rental property is part of the primary residence. It was added because getting into a situation where your own family cannot live with you because of an existing lease is.... awkward. People who get married and need a tenant to move out, would instead have to move out of their own houses and rent an apartment.
