You mean like the meth addicts or alcoholics etc etc? They have shitty lives on the margins of society. Being an emotional fuckup and choosing terrible men has consequences, as do many other things (getting addicted to drugs etc.)
I meant like the ones who can’t leave their husbands because they have no vocational skills, can’t go to a shelter because they have children, or won’t leave because they’ve become conditioned to believe the justice system can’t protect them and their husbands will hunt them down and beat them worse.
Christ. I had to re-read the OP twice to make sure if I was missing something, but no, I wasn’t.
The news article says that the woman and her daughter were evicted, and refers to her boyfriend, not husband or partner. That indicates to me that he didn’t live there.
It also says she broke the three strikes rule, not that there were nightly disturbances.
It also never says that the woman was equally violent, like with WhyNot’s violent neighbours.
BBJ then posts a cite saying that the boyfriend had been arrested, the boyfriend was the tenant’s ex in the later incidents, and she hadn’t invited him onto her property.
I understand that people will post related experiences that aren’t quite the same, because threads would die without that. But would it hurt to admit that they’re not the same? And why make judgments about this case based on experiences that are different in important respects?
Especially “make him leave.” It appears he didn’t live there. Or “break up with him.” She did. Or “this doesn’t apply if non-tenants are causing the trouble.” It does. She appears to have done all the right things according to people on this thread and still she gets in trouble for it.
Seems like a ludicrous application of the law to me. Try to get out of a violent relationship and get evicted if he disagrees - and the law says you have to be evicted, too, even if your landlord disagrees and you’re otherwise a good tenant. Ridiculous.
Women who don’t have children are more likely to be turned away from shelters, because some shelters feel that she should be able to make it on her own without their help. :mad: And people who are in gay relationships are REALLY stuck, if you think about it.
Cite?
This is not an accurate summary of what I said at all. Do you have a reading comprehension problem or is this a willful misunderstanding? Either way, I’m sorry you are deficient. It can’t be easy being such a fool.
Like I said, they’ll live on the margins of society (assuming they were evicted for disrupting apartments.) Or they could rent a SFR where they’ll probably be able to have all the beatings they want without bothering the neighbors, or they’ll end up in a really bad neighborhood where it’s expected you have domestic violence as a constant background noise.
