I've heard that the laws of your home apply in space, so some Californian should get a 30 day lease then force them to evict them :D

- Waterluvian 7y agoA great way to become the first human to be Spaced.
- stcredzero 7y agoGetting someone evicted in California might take 2 years in court. For it to be that hard, they have to be in residence for over 2 years. There are all kinds of shenanigans lawyers can pull to draw out such processes.
- wahern 7y agoEvictions usually happen much faster than that, like on the orders of days or weeks. See https://www.attorneydavid.com/blog/how-long-does-it-take-to-evict-a-tenant-in-california/ https://www.attorneydavid.com/blog/how-long-does-it-take-to-...
- stcredzero 7y agoI've spoken to Bay Area attorneys about this. Non-disputed evictions take 4-6 weeks. That's non-disputed. That's on the long side! Other jurisdictions take a few days to 2 weeks for non-disputed. An additional month for disputed evictions is an average, so that's up to 10 weeks or so. It can drag out for much longer. It depends on how good the case is for each side.
- Waterluvian 7y agoIn the parts of Canada I've lived the rules very much bias in favour of the resident, based on the logic that the cost to the landlord is financial but the cost to the residents is safety, health, etc. If I recall, in some places you can't even evict in the winter. Same applies to utilities: it's illegal to disconnect heat (whether gas or electricity) in the winter even if for non payment. Personally I prefer protecting residents at the cost of some people who exploit the system.
- stcredzero 7y agoThis is the logic behind California's laws.
- TomMckenny 7y ago>An additional month for disputed evictions is an average Because we know in advance the tenant can never win.
- stcredzero 7y agoTaking 4 months to get the tenant out isn't exactly a "win" for the landlord.
- ceejayoz 7y agoState laws wouldn't apply. Only Federal.
- briandear 7y agoCalifornia would find a way.
- themodelplumber 7y agoMost likely that "way" would be supporting private space station developers with various subsidies. Though it's fun to imagine the "Singapore scenario" where California goes independent due to some spat over space rights, with Musk becoming a space general in the rebellion ;-)
- wahern 7y agoWhatever happen to the satellite California was going to launch to study climate change. Is that still happening?
- pkaye 7y agoThat is not unique to California. Most states have a lengthy eviction process.
