Forced Evictions due to court shutdowns.

[Nick Rutkowski]

I’ve been hearing from other landlord groups that people are thinking about a forced eviction. Landlords are thinking about turning off utilities in order to get the non paying tenant out. There are no courts to resolve these issues between the two parties. How do you feel about landlords taking matters into their own hands and preforming forced evictions?

@Nick Rutkowski you are the first person I have heard suggest this. If someone suggested this to me, I would tell them it illegal and unprofessional. No professional landlords or state associations would ever endorse this. Tenants have hotlines and advocacy groups, so doing constructive eviction would be a bad idea.
