What more could be done? The courts bent over backwards to accommodate her, going so far as to award her $14,000 after patiently exhausting every other option. 14k and a moving crew seems pretty generous as far as evictions for hostile, unsanitary, non-paying tenants go. Her story is depressing because she is clearly a troubled woman, but you can't just ignore reality and expect everything to work out, it's unsustainable to allow every person with poor reasoning skills live rent free.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoThe courts didn't award her $14k. She agreed to it in arbitration and signed a contract specifying that she'd get it in return for moving out. She then declined to move out, and I assume didn't get any of that $14k (because... why would she?).
- makmanalp 13y agoThe story mentions later on: "Her settlement money comes in small increments, so it is difficult for her to save up." So she got the 14k even after she refused to honor the contract she signed.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoWow. Truly, these heartless landlords have things all their own way.
