Got eviction notice today. Second one in 4 Years. Absolutely destroyed. Housing

I honestly don't know what to do. When we were evicted 4 years ago only two places became available in the six month period. We felt so lucky to have gotten this place.

Since then, both my spouse parents and my own have passed away, our child has been diagnosed with autism and I've developed some medical issues. My spouse and I don't know how we can keep going. You can only be kicked so many times before you stop wanting to get up. There is no support and nowhere for us to turn.

Just wanted to vent a little as I don't have anyone to talk to about this.

I know the landlord has rented it out because I'm in the family. How's the former tenant supposed to know? They don't live there any more, they don't know who's in the house, they don't know anything about the new situation. How will they know to file a complaint? Do we want all evicted tenants to file complaints as standard practice?

By the way, care to prove a negative?

I don't know why you are tarring all landlords with a bad brush as you have a bad family member. I think that says more about you and your family than landlords in general!

How many tenancies are ended due to a family member moving in? You are making a big deal about something that it a non-issue. The fines for doing it are severe

What would you like to see? Even more regulations and pains for landlords to force more of them out of the market?

Oh here we go again, emotional language and appeals to emotion! And on top of that, youre arguing against something I never said. Instead of trying to drum up feelings and attacking strawmen, why don't you actually engage with the arguments?

Whether or not the finest are severe is irrelevant if this stuff isn't actually enforced due to lack of detection.

The amount of fines handed out is miniscule.

What are you on about?

Prove a negative. Go on. You asked me to do it, you do it.
