Evictions Are Up

Here is an interesting, although somewhat slanted, article from NYT on the increasing level of evictions in various parts of the country. What this article demonstrates is that it is getting harder out there as rents and price of everything else keep increasing. What the article fails to mention however is that evictions are hard on the landlords as well. I know I try to avoid filing them and I suspect many other landlords do as well. An eviction is an absolute last resort for me as I will try to work with struggling tenants first.
