“The landlords have all the power and tenants have none.”(Giwargis) The San Jose city council recently voted to require just cause for tenant eviction, requiring landlords to provide a reason for not renewing tenant leases. This is a profound change to the law. Previously, the city had a no cause eviction policy. Now a reason must be provided, prior to eviction. Landlords and tenants stand on different sides of this issue and the vote was close. The rights of tenants as well as those of landlords must

Eviction’s Effects Those who have experienced evictions are forced into multiple logistical housing situations. Due to the stigma associated with a court-ordered eviction, landlords would often engage in rent screenings to ensure that potential renters not only have a “clean” criminal record but also an eviction “free” record (Desmond, 2016). As Desmond discusses (2016), the landlord’s double barrier screening is shielding their neighborhood from criminality and poverty. Correspondingly, some landlords

Although there have been laws penalising unlawful eviction and harassment since 1924, the legislation to protect residential occupiers against unlawful eviction and harassment was not introduced until mid-1960s after ‘Rachmanism’ entered the English language. Hence as a result of policy moves in last two decades, most tenants in residential accommodation actually have a lot of legal protection against rogue landlords under the Protection from Eviction Act 1977(PEA), Protection from Harassment Act 1997(PHA)

researchers in the contemporary study of eviction is Matthew Desmond. In “Eviction and the Reproduction of Urban Poverty (2012), he combines statistical and ethnographic analyses to investigate the ramifications of eviction on the lives of the urban poor. The primary independent variable in this study was gender, while the dependent was eviction rates as a percentage. Half of his quantitative analysis involved extracting legal records or court-ordered evictions that took place in Milwaukee County between

them more likely to miss payments, leaving them constantly vulnerable to the threat of eviction. Landlords have resources at their disposal to constantly fill their properties with this lower class. For example, Belinda managed resident’s welfare, relieving the possibility of missed payments and brought her clients to landlords, like Sherrena (cite). This relationship between tenant and landlord subsides when eviction becomes the most cost effective solution, because landlords take financially losses

Most evictions requires a notice demanding that the tenant does something or refrains from doing something or in the alternative vacate the house. The most common cause of eviction is failure to pay rent. This kind of eviction requires a three-day notice to pay the rent or vacate. The tenant can pay the rent before the lapse of the three days to avoid eviction. The tenant must have defaulted payment in order to serve the notice. The

The evictions of these eight families take place all other Milwaukee, the Northside, Southside, Westside and Eastside. Arleen Bell, a mother of four children, is one of the first people mentioned by Desmond. She had moved into a duplex on Thirteenth
