Time to start suing for our rights?!?!

There has been no end to the frustration felt by the owners we represent.  They ask "what can we do to get the tenant to pay?"  Since the eviction moratorium went into effect, we could only shrug and say, "Sorry, nothing we can do yet."

That's about to change!  Now we can refer to some new developments (example link below) and respond, "you can sue the court to reopen!"

There are protests for about everything else; maybe it's time for landlords to exercise our constitutional rights to due process of law ?!   

Due process” originated in 1215 with the English Magna Carta, an important provision of which was that no freeman would be deprived of certain rights except “by the judgment of his peers and by the law of the land.”
