Social media
Goal of the social media accounts / pages
I have been serving as a Constable since fall 1999, handling hundreds of evictions and witnessing a wide range of situations. Over the years, friends, colleagues, and clients have encouraged me to share what a real eviction looks like. Even those familiar with the process may not fully understand what occurs in the field.
There are both “good” and “bad” evictions. While worst-case scenarios—damaged property or chaos—get attention, many evictions are handled calmly and respectfully with minimal disruption.
The goal of our social media videos is not to shame or embarrass anyone. Evictions are complex, often involving economic, personal, or other factors. My intent is to shed light on the realities of eviction, spark conversation, and foster understanding about the broader issues involved.
I always treat tenants with utmost respect. These are difficult situations, and there is no need to make them worse than necessary. In fact, many tenants have expressed gratitude for the professional and respectful approach.
For privacy and respect, we do not disclose addresses, tenant names, or show faces of those involved.
What Leads Someone to the Point of Eviction?
Evictions are rarely caused by a single factor—they usually result from a combination of economic, social, and personal circumstances. Here’s a clear breakdown of the most common causes:
1. Non-Payment of Rent
- The most frequent cause of eviction.
- Often due to financial hardship, job loss, reduced income, or unexpected expenses.
2. Lease Violations
- Tenants breaking the terms of their lease can trigger eviction.
- Examples include unauthorized pets, subletting, property damage, or illegal activities on the premises.
3. End of Lease / Landlord Decisions
- Sometimes a lease simply ends, and the landlord chooses not to renew.
- Other times, landlords may sell the property or want to use it for another purpose.
4. Personal or Family Circumstances
- Domestic issues, relationship breakdowns, or medical emergencies can affect the ability to meet rental obligations.
- In some cases, tenants must relocate due to safety or health concerns.
5. Broader Economic and Housing Factors
- Rising rent, gentrification, and limited affordable housing contribute to evictions.
- Policies and local housing market conditions can create pressures that make eviction more likely.
6. Legal and Administrative Issues
- Misunderstandings about the lease, late notices, or failing to follow proper procedures can lead to eviction
7. Substance Abuse
- Substance abuse can play a significant role in eviction cases, often contributing to lease violations, property damage, disturbances, or unsafe living conditions. Tenants struggling with addiction may fall behind on rent or engage in behavior that violates lease terms or disrupts other residents. In some cases, landlords may pursue eviction due to illegal drug activity on the premises, which can create safety and liability concerns
