People who are evicted tend to move into worse housing and neighborhoods while people forced to move due to foreclosure do not. American Housing Survey data. Forced moves caused by natural hazards or government action result in worse housing, but not neighborhoods. #Eviction #Housing #Neighborhoods #NICHDimpact

From the site:
In a typical year, landlords file 3.6 million eviction cases.
The Eviction Lab at Princeton University creates data, interactive tools, and research to help neighbors and policymakers understand the eviction crisis.
“Not only were the ruse and shooting needless, but they consummated months of the federal government’s counterproductive harassment, #criminalization, and prosecution of an Idaho family eking out survival while enduring #homelessness brought on by their #eviction at the onset of the #COVID19 pandemic” the lawyers wrote in a letter notifying the agencies of the lawsuit...The family was unable to find another rental and was told that the local emergency shelter options were full, according to the lawsuit. They subsequently moved into their two camper trailers despite no running water. The Roberts family then “moved across Southwest Idaho,” where they were constantly ticketed by law enforcement officers and told to “move on,” the lawsuit adds."

They need to say their names being evoked every #eviction is not OK and take a stand against the violence.

Musicians face forced #eviction of #STOP, in #Porto, the largest DIY Studio Complex in Europe
For over 10 days, more than 500 musicians in Porto have been forcibly evicted from their workspace, by police and the city hall, with over 100 rehearsal rooms and workplaces closed down in the STOP Shopping Center, located in the city center, in what has been called the largest DIY Studio complex in Europe.
Outraged, they called for a demonstration attended by thousands of people, artists, and cultural agents in Porto and Lisbon, recognizing the importance of this community for Portuguese culture.
The peak season for concerts is during the summer, and most of these professionals need their workspace to prepare, store their materials, etc.
The mayor of Porto, who is also the city's cultural councilor, fails to understand the disruption it is causing in the lives of hundreds of workers and their families, as well as in the cultural activity of the community as a whole.
Porto has undergone significant changes in recent years under its political management, losing its identity and losing thousands of inhabitants due to the housing crisis. Furthermore, its administration is being investigated for real estate speculation activities and favoring economic interests.
Now, the countless number of creators and technicians who have passed through the STOP Shopping Center in the last decades join forces with these 500 musicians, and in unison with their neighborhood and city, they will not allow themselves to be turned into new victims of ambition and profit.

This is self-interested but this research—that higher court filing fees for evictions lowers #eviction rates—could help both tenants and the public #lawlibraries that serve them.
If the fee is raised, a legislature could allocate more of the fee (perhaps the increase, since it would reduce court costs if evictions drop) to the law library.

HOUSING: Police State and Class War!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAZpw1Cjl1g&ab_channel=EntitledMillennials
a sick society...
In this clip from his "Thinking Out Loud" series, Double D discusses the eviction of "Mom's for Housing" and how it reflects the purpose of militarized police as agents of capital in a class war against working people. He reinforces the idea that police do not exist to protect people, but rather to protect private property. He analyzes how housing has ceased to be viewed as an essential need, but rather as a commodity to be used in investment portfolios.

One email we saw from a “rent guarantee” provider urged a landlord to issue a ‘no fault’ eviction notice – a practice the government has long vowed to ban – because a tenant in a south London flat did not have three years’ worth of UK credit history after recently moving to the UK.

Today In Labor History June 29, 1936: Jesus Pallares, founder of the 8,000-member coal miners’ union, La Liga Obrera de Habla Espanola, was deported from the U.S. as an "undesirable alien." During the 1934 La Liga strike against the Gallup American Copper Company, in New Mexico, the governor declared martial law & used the National Guard to close off the town for 5 months. White supremacists and proto-fascist groups led the fight to halt economic relief to the striking Mexican miners. When a union organizer was arrested for leading an anti-eviction action, someone shot at the courthouse, killing the sheriff. This led to the arrest and deportation of 100 Mexican miners.

"Eviction filings are more than 50% higher than the pre-pandemic average in some cities, according to the Eviction Lab, which tracks filings in nearly three dozen cities and 10 states. Landlords file around 3.6 million eviction cases every year.
Among the hardest-hit are Houston, where rates were 56% higher in April and 50% higher in May. In Minneapolis/St. Paul, rates rose 106% in March, 55% in April and 63% in May. Nashville was 35% higher and Phoenix 33% higher in May; Rhode Island was up 32% in May. "
A few apartment buildings are responsible for an outsized share of a cities' eviction rates. Study offers policymakers looking to prevent homelessness tools to target high-evicting landlords. The 100 most-evicting parcels account for over 1 in 6 evictions in Cleveland and 2 in 5 evictions in Fayetteville and Tucson.

The sheriff in Boulder is evicting Twitter for failure to pay rent. The landlord took $900K+ from a line of credit set up by Twitter in case of default, but Twitter failed to replenish the LOC after default.
When journalists asked Twitter for a comment, the company representative sent a poop emoji.

In late 2020, in the middle of an ongoing #pandemic & a #housingCrisis, #Ontario ’s #Landlord and #Tenant Board (#LTB ) transitioned to a “digital-first” #policy for all future #eviction proceedings. Almost all matters before the LTB are now heard via #Zoom – a change that has #provoked widespread #criticism from tenants and their #advocacy groups, large swaths of the #legal community, and even many landlords across the province.

My #disabled friend is being #renovicted -- the text in the #gofundme (https://www.gofundme.com/f/sebmk-needing-a-new-place-asap) says it's not an eviction but it was later determined it is absolutely a renoviction so they can turn the building into Air B&Bs (FUCK AIR B&B #airbnb #airbb).
They can't find a place, no one returns their calls, they have well-behaved cats, and they are right now at risk of their only option being overstaying their tenancy (which brings with it potential legal issues).
Obviously no one can help with the fact that #landlords are scum, but if you feel like you can help even in a small way, please do, it would be greatly appreciated.
It has become incumbent on #tenants to at least be aware although rights are very limited...
For instance, I am with Paramount - all their leases in N.S. are "fixed term" meaning they can give me 4 months notice before my lease is up, to get out. This allows them to rent my unit for a much higher rent.
I have no appeal. This needs to be fixed in law.

Hey all—Circle City Mutual Aid is trying to raise funds for a single mother facing eviction. She has no family to help and needs $500 to remain in her home. CCMA has raised $200 / $500 of the needed funds. Let’s give the gift of community love and support this holiday season to keep this family housed.
If you would like to support CCMA in this endeavor, donate to $CircleCityMutualAid on CashApp and add a red heart emoji (❤️) in the notes to indicate that these funds are going directly to the mother.
Happy holidays and stay safe in the winter storm everyone. 💙❄️

I'm asking friends, family, comrades, allies and kind people to please donate so I can pay landlord what I owe and avoid eviction. This is an emergency. My anxiety and depression has been through the roof over this and I'm tired of feeling so hopeless with no way out of this crisis alone.
The stress is overwhelming.
I'm afraid and don't know what else to do.
I appreciate everyone who has donated thus far, and all who will going forward. I need to reach as many people as possible in order to raise the significant amount needed, so, your #boost is also very helpful and encouraged. The more people I can reach, the better chance of this working out.

Posting again for increased reach.
I'm in immediate danger of becoming #homeless
I am #transgender with #disabilities and am a #photographer , #activist and #photojournalist . I am also a lay ordained #buddhist having received the Bodhisattva precepts and taken vows to live by them.
The Covid 19 pandemic, as you know, was devastating to the creative gig economy, and for me personally, 2022 was even worse.
I only had four paid gigs in 2022, which resulted in me being unable to pay my rent and bills, etc
As an activist in the #boston area, I regularly participate in direct actions and protests as well as providing #photojournalism coverage to help raise awareness and grow movements. Several I even co-organized.
For the last few weeks I've been asking for help on all my social media, yet am nowhere close to reaching goal to eliminate the debt and avoid the crisis of becoming homeless with my 16yr old daughter and dog. We do not have any family or anywhere to go if we're evicted.

Heading off to #Ecourts. Tomorrow @brycew and I will be talking about the @SuffolkLITLab collaboration with the Massachusetts Appeals #Court.
We used #docassemble to build guided interviews, mainly for emergency #housing #eviction actions. And we'll be talking about the #eFiling integration we built for Tyler Technologies that lets tenants send a completed emergency stay directly to the court docket.
Just edited a little video showing off our new @SuffolkLITLab electronic filing system in a Motion to Stay #Eviction. This is a collaboration with the Massachusetts Appeals Court
@brycew gets credit for doing most of the e-filing coding. Several students also worked on this guided interview
Many of us make our annual #donations to #charity at the end of the year. Consider moving it up a month or two, or making it monthly!
#Housing stability is close to my heart and I support local charities https://www.homestart.org ( #EvictionPrevention with just a few hundred $/tenant) and https://www.rosiesplace.org (independently funded #shelter with great day services for women), as well as https://www.gbfb.org/
