Fishman sent her maintenance man to deliver a ten-day eviction notice to her door.

Yeah, that’s not legal. Hope the tenant finds a good lawyer.

Mun. Code Ch. 5-12-170: Under the 2020 revisions of the RLTO (“Fair Notice Ordinance”), Landlords must provide a tenant that is not in the eviction process: • 30 days of notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy, decline to renew your lease or raise your rent if you have lived in your apartment for less than six months. • 60 days of notice for the same if you have lived in your apartment for more than six months but less than three years.

One of the high-points in my life was having a landlord show up with the local sheriffs to try and force an eviction that up until this point had only been verbal. I happily showed them the state’s tenant laws that said “30 days after written notice is provided” and had a lawyer friend on speed dial if they had any questions. Landlord got so belligerent that the sheriffs escorted them off instead.

It’s probably not an eviction notice, but a “comply or vacate” notice. Journalists often confuse “eviction notice”, which is a court order, with the sort of formal written demand notices that tenants are entitled to receive.

I don’t know how many times you need to see people abuse their power before you stop giving parasites the benefit of the doubt.

I’m a professional in the industry.

Ah, a group of which is known as an infection.

Landlords?
