Episode notes
Landlord's Financial Strain
- Adam's father depended on the rental income for retirement, especially after being laid off due to the pandemic.
- The moratorium significantly impacted their financial stability.
Unequal Legal Access
- During the eviction moratorium, tenants had access to free legal representation while landlords had to bear their own legal costs.
- This created an uneven playing field in legal disputes.
Squatters and Eviction
- After the tenants left, squatters occupied the property, and Adam encountered a woman who wasn't even aware of the original tenants.
- Squatters were also difficult to evict due to moratoriums.
