'No Eviction Ever' Deters Private Ownership & even AirBB/STR

[Jonn Vidal]

Coast to Coast, Legislature is quickly shifting from Pro-Tenant to Anti-Landlord!

NY: 

No Evictions! Not Now, Not Ever – The Brooklyn Rail

What's next, even hotels & motels and private estate alike will be barred from removing tresspassing squatters?!

Under the Legislature’s misleadingly named “Good Cause Eviction” bill, all sorts of renters will be allowed to remain in their rentals FOREVER giving landlords & owners virtually no recourse, not even to sell!

Even AirBBers will be protected should they wake up deciding to stay not one night, but permanently. Even tenants who haven't paid in years. Even a roommate temporarily renting just a room who takes over the whole building permanently!

In theory, the bill still lets landlords evict tenants for “good causes,” such as failing to pay rent, damaging apartments or using them for illegal purposes. But in practice, “No Eviction Ever” would turn even the simplest instances of nonpayment and lease violations into expensive, time-consuming court cases by setting the eviction bar impossibly high, such as striking down any eviction on mere claim by tenants that there is no heat, hot water, smoke detectors, etc.

HELLo, Gotham?!

CA:


LA County  approves an extension of the eviction moratorium for the rest of 2022!

Landlords must still successfully submit a complete application for Rental Assistance (note not necessarily Tenants must!) before even beginning an Eviction!
