SPOA Housing Policy Series, Episode 6: Eviction From Another View
By Small Property Owners Association Members
We are pleased to release Episode 6 of the SPOA Housing Policy Series, which is called "Eviction From Another View."
The conversation centers on the challenges and traumas that property owners face during the eviction process, which is slow, adversarial, and expensive. When they are forced to turn to the legal system to reclaim possession of their units from non-paying or dangerous tenants, property owners also encounter interference from third parties.
We speak with Ms. Wildia Capre, a first generation immigrant who achieved the American Dream of homeownership, only to have it crushed by a tenant who committed verbal abuse and threatened physical violence, while vandalizing the property and not paying rent.
SPOA Vice President, Amir Shahsavari, moderates the conversation with the panel, which includes Ms. Capre, Attorney Greenman, and Mr. Demetrios Salpoglou (CEO, Boston Pads).
