Illegal Evictions: Share Your Story!

[Nathan Gesner]

Illegal evictions, also known as "self help" evictions, can get Landlords and Property Managers in a lot of hot water. I personally know a Landlord that always keeps utilities in his name but passes the bills on to his tenants. If the tenant fails to pay rent, he shuts the utilities off and tells the tenant to get out. He's been doing this for nearly 40 years! I've also heard of owners removing doors, changing locks, throwing belongings out on the street, etc.

Have you evicted someone illegally or heard of someone else doing it? Share your stories!

P.S. We should all follow the law. This is not an endorsement of illegal evictions!!!
