Not mentioned here - the imputed cost of easy eviction on rental prices/ability to rent. I’ve lived in tenant friendly cities (NYC) and landlord friendly cities (HOU). And guess what, its way easier to rent an apartment in a state where it’s easier to get evicted. Perversely making it hard to evict a tennat can make the hurdles to be being able to qualify for an apartment to high for many people. I’m not saying that there should be no protections, and as a renter i would prefer to have stronger protections, but with those stronger protections come costs....
