Revenge of the Landlord

The headline from the AP story: Landlords finding ways to evict after getting rental aid. "There have also been cases in Georgia and Texas where landlords who received assistance moved to end leases early, increased rents to unaffordable levels or found other reasons than nonpayment to evict someone, lawyers said. “As it is right now, it doesn’t seem to be working as intended,” said Tori Tavormina, an eviction prevention specialist with Texas Housers. “It feels much more like it’s a program that is alleviating the pressure of the eviction crisis but not solving the underlying problems.” My comment: gee, a government program and intervention in contract law that did not work out as planned...who would have thought that might come to pass???
