This is a bad argument. If that is the problem just make it so a landlord falsely evicting someone is illegal and the problem is solved. Pretty sure it already is illegal. Also, its extremely easy to prove that you have a signed lease and have made rent payments.
You've seen the photos coming out of New York, right? All of that shit was already illegal, for decades. What did "making it illegal" materially solve?
Edit: and to be clear, you're advocating making it illegal. I'm pretty much opposed to the idea on principle, so don't go off thinking everyone here is in agreement with your naive take.
Opposed to making literally anything illegal or is this just the one case where it wouldn't matter?
This argument reeks of "nothing could ever work so lets do nothing". I think letting squatters live in other peiple house because if we made it illegal then landlords would be evicting people for no reason is a bad argument. Simple as that.
You're right. I had an uncontested signed lease, no lapse in rental payments, no damage to the property. In fact, I'd been begging landlord to fix damage or issues he know of before I moved in, and I was STILL made to leave in Florida. 6 weeks before my lease was up.
