Lawful evictions take time, yes, but as the system becomes overwhelmed desperate landlords are going to take matters into their own hands. Cops, strained by lots of other problems just wont have the time or resources to respond to all the calls of people who had the locks changed on them illegally.
- thrownaway996 6y agoSure, but who is renting the property after that? In your scenario, the answer is, noone, which significantly incentivizes at least _some_ of the landlords to negotiate with tenants, instead of mass eviction. Some income is better in the short-run than no-income, particularly for small property owners.
- michaelmrose 6y agoThey might well turn to speculators willing to buy out the property even at less than current price. If you own a 250k property and haven't been paid the rent you expect for months 50%-75% on the dollar so you can pay your own expenses might look attractive.
