My current saga. My landlord wants me to sign a new lease that gives me only two hours notice to show the house to potential buyers, upon which I am supposed to vacate the house—and if I don't do that three times, he can evict me. Two hours notice. In the middle of a pandemic.

Yeah, if I get evicted, I'm live-tweeting it with names. I should be doing the kind of work I can do to help people in the middle of all this, instead of have so much of my time eaten up by this kind of nonsense. Incredible.

Yes, I have a lawyer. And, no, I don't want to move in the middle of a pandemic when I have a valid lease. It's not safe or healthy, and people should not be forced to move right now. Moving=huffing and puffing movers inside the house and work...https://twitter.com/marylande/status/1313215557043449858 …

If I refuse the new lease and stick with the existing valid one, they are trying to then increase my rent by a huge amount (the legality will have to go to courts) and claiming they will enter for showings *anyway*.https://twitter.com/fascinatorfun/status/1313214447222226945 …

Seriously, I should be working on another piece trying to explain some other aspect of the pandemic, teach and mentor my students, take care of my own stuff... It's been like this for months, and I made many reasonable offers, going out of my way. Nope, nope.

So
#NCPol question. Anyone in North Carolina regulatory offices want to chat about landlords forcing unsafe showings on tenants? I’ve learned that other states have actual guidelines on this. I’d love to be a test case! Some good out of all this stupidity. https://twitter.com/lenert/status/1313226431724285952 …This Tweet is unavailable.Show this thread

Would it be worth finding a different place to live? Sounds like not worth the hassle, stress and trouble. I wish you the best of luck with this case, hopefully stability and (living) security will return for you soon.

Time to lawyer up yourself?

It does sort of explain why 40% of the population supports Trump.

Please be safe. It’s been a very hard pandemic for those that care for/about people....
