      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.

      I would have managed to get done so much more work if I didn't have to deal with all this, in the middle of a pandemic. Unbelievable. Plus, his lawyer just told me that I should not use "social media libelously" to talk about the case. I guess I hope we go to court on that, too.

      I told them that I teach in three hour chunks, and how about a mutually-agreed upon time within a day for showings? I mean, we're in a small town here, not at a Sotheby's auction. We can find a mutually-agreed upon time within 24 hours. Nope, they won't agree.

      Seriously, ongoing saga all summer that has eaten up so much of my productive time! Landlord lives in Mexico, seems to me like a lot of generational wealth, says he's "entrepreneur/filmmaker" & a mobile apps developer. I keep making reasonable offers, no go. We're in a pandemic!

      Not everyone is going through the same pandemic, I suppose. I'm just flabbergasted at the callousness and the greed that people can carry on, through something like this. I shouldn't be but I still am.

      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.

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Mary Landesman

      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 …

      Is there a reason you don’t just move now?

      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 …

      What happens if you don’t sign the lease? If your old lease is good, stick with it.

      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.

      Good luck and hopefully this and other landlords get the media coverage they deserve.
