- volfied 7y agoYeah if the nurse was able to fight this in the court (that's the whole other problem, where will she find time / money to fight it during a pandemic), the landlord is in deep legal trouble, no?
- toomuchtodo 7y agoYes, but in the meantime, that nurse is homeless. These examples are when you need rapid community involvement to buffer until the justice system can step in (which has some latency). In the case of unlawful evictions, we have a network of people who will take someone in (as well as our family if we can) until an attorney friend (IANAL yet) can file suit against the landlord. Shelters can be suboptimal (and downright fraught with peril) depending on the location and their resources. Let us not forget these examples in the future of policy and social service gaps that need fixing.
