Reply to comment by KaiDaiz in Passing Good Cause Eviction would NOT make it harder for landlords to evict tenants for non-payment by [deleted]

This bill does not "violate the original contract" like it's some eternal binding entity imbued with divine power; it modifies the nature of the legal obligations under landlord-tenants contracts.

If Good Cause were so bad for tenants like you claim, then why are all grassroots tenant's rights organizations/ tenant associations supportive of the bill and all landlord lobbying organizations opposed to it?

This can't be any clearer, and gaslighting tenants from the perspective of being an owner into advocating against their interests is quite the disgusting tactic mate.

Did the original contract had a end date? yes or no. does this bill change that and force one party to perpetually renew if requested and eligible? yes so a change in original contract.

bc they view it in the short term and can't see long term. Evebn you cant see it right now

Just like tenant advocates say the 2019 rent reforms were good and ignore the predictions of others that it will simply lead to more vacant units bc the renos wont support the legal rent. Tenant advocates at the time say it wont happen nor huge impact. Guess what it did occur. Where's those tenant advocate that deny this?

Odd thing to do to spend your time on Reddit advocating for those with economic power to maintain it, but that's what Landlords do with all their time not working I guess.

I have plenty of free time during day job. Currently compiling. Feel free to ignore my predictions of what will happen. Just like in 2019

The best point is to look at all predictions for the 2018 law. Many of them came true. Landlords are pulling units off the market because they can't afford to renovate. Small landlords are getting crushed and are starting to lose their houses.
