Domestic Violence Survivors Who Call the Cops Risk Eviction in Some Places
Some cities require landlords to evict tenants who call 911 3 times within 4 months. The rule puts women in grave danger.
Imagine that you are being attacked by your abusive former boyfriend in your own home, where you are raising your three-year-old daughter. Your life is in danger.
But if you call the police, you know you might be evicted, because the law in your community requires landlords to throw tenants out if cops come to the home three times within a four-month period for "disorderly behavior."
