Week9 discussion question

Review this video, which reports the growing number of evictions as rents rise and property values increase. After 50 years at the same address, a 98 year old woman faces eviction. Although laws are different in each state, renters are having a harder time fighting evictions.
- Woman, 98, Evicted From San Francisco Apartment After 50 Years

Suppose you are a judge in a different case and before you was a tenant facing eviction. The landlord in the case has been in constant contact with the tenant and is able to supply the texts and notes to the tenant. However, the tenant agrees that the landlord did contact him, but the tenant claims there was not sufficient notice. The landlord is able to show months of texts and notes begging for the rent from the tenant.
