This family's eviction exposes a complex tussle between renters and landlords
By Cason Ho

Evicting a tenant without cause offers landlords a simple way out, but the issue can be much more complex than it appears. One such example of that complexity is Eleanor Kahlo's case of her no-grounds eviction.

Question for Boston/Cambridge area residents: is it true that property agents in Boston can only charge commission from landlords ? A new rule ?

SO funny if true. They are now putting "NO BROKER FEES" on their zilllow ads so they nonetheless come out as doing the vulnerable tenants a favour. So scummy.

Can't wait till sites like zillow die out or only cater to buying/selling property, not rentals.

As with people who've been unemployed for a while, another common obstacle to getting into a rental is a lack of recent references. When I was at WINZ the other day I saw a poster for a workshop on creating a "housing CV".

As with references for jobs, there's absolutely no reason housing references can't be ... creative. Stretching the truth just enough to give people who've been without a secure home for a while a fair shot at fixing that.
