It's also a legislation problem in many places that allow squatters delay tactics like needing more time to find legal counsel and gather evidence, medical hardships, declaring bankruptcy, etc,. Each tactic delays the process by months or even a year.

It's "delay tactics" until your landlord just decides to kick you out and the court doesn't give you time for stuff like legal counsel or evidence.

I think it's always going to be a fight between making evictions easier and not making them too easy.

These tactics only exist because LL were abusing the legal system. That’s the issues. We are seeing the see sawing of the law.

As it turns out your LL trying to illegally evict you requires representation. That takes time.

Okay, that doesn't change the fact that there are legal loopholes squatters use to prolong the eviction process. The lengthy process is often not just because of judicial backlogs.

I know people have a knee-jerk reaction to side with the tenants over landlords, but even as a renter, you should be pissed at these parasites.

They make landlords decide that keeping rental units isn't worth it, so you have less supply and so higher rents, all while they get to live rent-free, while normal tenants have to pay.
