If the legal system sides with landlords over our most vulnerable members of society, then it is not a legitimate vector of negotiation. What do you think people will have to do when the nonviolent option has been nullified?
Expect a lot more of this with the BBB bill cutting 800billion from medicade. Most seniors 62% in these homes are paid for by Medicaid after all of their assets have been liquidated. These places cost 10k a month or more.
I know this may seem cruel but people who own property to rent it out are making a business of it.
