I hope! I have been trying to evict someone who hasn’t paid rent in almost 15 months and is constantly smoking weed in the hallways, poured bleach on plants in the vegetable garden, and would literally blast music from 1am-3am while the tenant in the neighboring apartment was dying from cancer. I’m all for helping out people in need, but this dude is something else. Can’t wait until he’s gone, and court got pushed back to December again.

Completely agree. I just don’t think underlying beliefs should invalidate legitimate concerns.
