This one is personal because it happened to me. Abusive tenant refusing to pay rent and stealing from me, in a house I myself was living in and renting as the sole lessee and subletting (which was allowed). So, I was already broke from thousands in unpaid rent, then got notice that she was fighting the eviction and would be represented in court by a pro bono lawfirm. So I had to scrounge my last $ and remember not to fill up my gas tank all the way, to hire the town's cheapest attorney to go in and settle, letting her stay an extra month free of charge to agree to leave. Finally she illegally overstayed that and only left the day before the cops were to show up and forcibly remove her. This is all while she's living on gov't cheese and blowing her money on booze and festivals. In all I was out many thousands of dollars I didn't have and basically couldn't sleep in my own rented room for over a month, and got fought in court by fancy lawyers paid with tax-deducted charity money. I spent a while seriously considering, and my only other option would have been, to end my own lease and leave and let my landlord deal with trying to remove her. So no, I was actually at risk for becoming homeless due to this situation as the "landlord", and I get fairly angry when its described in this blithe way as if the person fighting the eviction is always the poor little guy and the "landlord" is always BlackRock having to eat a 0.001% hit to their profit margins.
