If you are worried about finding a place with 0 days notice, ask that your lease include a "30 days notice" clause. I've never seen a lease agreement that didn't have one. Most lease contracts are 12 months. That gives you 1 year of warning. If someone is living on near minimum wage... Most poor people aren't. http://www.people.vcu.edu/~lrazzolini/GR2010.pdf http://www.people.vcu.edu/~lrazzolini/GR2010.pdf There are people who can barely afford to put food on the table Poor people are typically fat. The typical poor person has no job, if he does have a job it isn't minimum wage, and he has a car. He would also be healthier if he put less food on the table. Why do you keep discussing these completely atypical poor people, and extremely uncommon rental contracts?

They aren't atypical, they're extremely typical. Even according to your own link they make up around 10%. According to less exclusionary sources they make up more.

  That link doesn't claim what you claim it claims. It talks about impact, The focus of the paper is on impact, and along the way it counts people (including poor people) with wages between the current minimum wage and a proposed increased minimum wage. I have no idea what you mean by "massive amount of exclusions". That's just raw bigotry now. If so it's bigotry on the part of the BLS and Census. I guess you assert they are lying? If all the statistics (or at least the ones that disagree with you) are lies, there is no point continuing the discussion, since we can't get anywhere.
