i also think that this problem is more geographically constrained than the mess of internet videos makes it appear. I know in FL, it's pretty hard to evict a tenant, but it's also more difficult to establish "residency" then the stories we are reading about here seem to claim. A couple pieces of mail and a doordash receipt ain't gonna cut it.
Perhaps NY and CA and a couple other places have swung a little too far towards the "help the poor innocent tenant against the rich old landlord" in their laws and need to dial it back a bit without going all the way to allowing 24 hr notice evictions.
Has anyone looked at how prevalent these situations are, and if they are clustered in certain states, I wonder?
