Philadelphia’s Eviction Crisis Isn’t a Free-Housing Program

Philadelphia’s eviction crisis is not a free-housing program. Tenants have rights, but landlords still have mortgages, taxes, insurance, repairs, and payroll to cover. When the rent stops coming in, the property owner cannot be expected to provide housing indefinitely for free. Eviction is a legal process for removing tenants who fail to uphold their end of the rental agreement—not proof that housing providers are the villains.
