If you are facing or have recently faced a renoviction by a flipper or merchant housing dealer, you may not understand the reason: greed. I recently went through a renoviction and it took me some time to see the reason why: the commodification of housing.

Better put as how to double your return on idle money by simply evicting the vulnerable and artificially inflating housing costs.

Big shout out to the conservative faction of “god what’s you to be richer at any cost” for bolting a moral veneer of piety to this cruel and commandment breaking (#8, #9, & #10) approach.

    Something that is difficult to do over here because the longer a tenant has been in a rented place the more say they get over living there.

    Effectively once it’s been 5+ years, you no longer get to evict them. You can ask nicely if they’ll leave, otherwise you’re SOL.

      Where’s “over here?”

        Hamburg in Germany. I think we got even more tenant friendly laws than the other federal states though.

        It’s scaling. There’s no hard cutoff. The longer a renter has been in, the more difficult to cancel their contact. The idea is that the longer someone has lived there, the more their life will have become reliant on being in that area, and hence uprooting them is less and less sensible.
