What did you think was going to happen when you made it illegal to evict renters for 2 years and at least 1/3 of them just stopped paying rent. That and prices have gone up (again) for everything partially as a result of this. Those property owners want to recoup the 2 years of rent they were not paid.

The city has already seen over 10,000 cases filed in 2023, and the city is on track to exceed 12,000 by the end of the year. It also comes at a time when people are not going to be getting rental assistance from the city. That's because the demand of people needing help this year was so high, that the city's rental and eviction assistance programs are currently not accepting applications."
