“There’s a huge portion of evictions that are happening for very small sums of money. Why are we sending cases to court where people owe $200, $100 or $50?” Rosen says. “It’s not a good use of the court’s time.” buried lede: "Professor doesn't know what small claims court is"

I think one might initially expect it to be a threat of *starting* eviction proceedings, with a "Murum Aries Attigit" approach taken once started. I can think of lots of reasons why starting proceedings and then calling them off would be incentivised, but still.

Missing from this story is some important context: it takes ~ 1 month to evict someone in some states, but it can take as much as 4-6 months in places like DC. If the landlord doesn't file instantly, they're going to eat 6-8 months of losses.

that part + filing the claim doesn't automatically mean that you leave. You just started that process
