god i try to keep reasonably well informed of current events but in florida so much shit is being pushed thru some of it falls thru the cracks for me

Terrible phone pics, but these are most of the rooms in my house. I haven’t yet cleared the clutter in the sunroom.

The upstairs bath and kitchen haven’t been updated since the ‘90s 😱.

So much of this house is a weird collaboration of people other than us. The paint in the sunroom and both boys’ rooms are from former tenants. The ugly blue couch in our sunroom was left by my in-laws when they briefly moved in with us while we lived in Florida. Nobody told me they would be moving in, but that’s a tale for another day. I was mad that they left the couch, but then joke’s on me because it’s very comfortable and we have happily used it for ten years. It’s going straight to the dump in 6 weeks though. We are not taking it with us.

All the books in the built-ins are my comps books lol.

The Florida Legislature unanimously passed a bill that would allow police to immediately remove squatters — a departure from the lengthy court cases required in most states.

"It gives me a real feeling of positive hope that we still have the ability to discuss challenges in our society and work with our legislatures in a bipartisan way," Patti Peeples, a Sunshine State property owner who was barred from her own home after squatters refused to leave, told News4Jax.

The legislation, which passed both chambers earlier this month, would allow police to remove squatters without a lease authorized by the property owner and adds criminal penalties. Landlords, under the current law, typically have to wade through a long and expensive legal process to remove squatters.

FLORIDA SQUATTER VICTIM LAUNCHING WEBSITE TO ASSIST OTHER LANDLORDS WITH ILLEGAL OCCUPANTS

"Imagine for a moment that you leave from your day of serving the citizens of Florida as a senator and you return to your home," Peeples told the state Senate Criminal Justice Committee in February. "But when you walk in, there are strangers sitting on your sofa, watching your TV, eating your food."

"You ask who they are and what they are doing, and they tell you that they have rented this house and present you with a lease," she continued.

An advocacy group, Florida Rising, initially opposed the legislation, fearing landlords could abuse the measures to quickly boot legitimate tenants. But the group took a neutral position after amendments were added to protect legal occupants, a spokesperson told News4Jax.

The bill, now headed to Gov. Ron DeSantis’ desk, would also allow wrongfully evicted tenants to sue to regain access and recover attorneys’ fees and damages.

Last year, it took weeks for the squatters in Peeples’ home to get evicted. They had produced a lease and claimed they were rental scam victims — a strategy the squatters used previously, court records show.

By the time they were ousted, Peeples’ house was left with thousands of dollars worth of damage.

"I've had so many emotions," Peeples told Fox News in April. "I've had just intense anger, I have felt defeated, I felt wronged by the legal system, I felt wronged by the police system."

The squatters never faced criminal charges.

If the Florida legislation becomes law, intentionally presenting a phony lease would be designated as a misdemeanor, and selling or leasing someone else’s property would be a felony, as would causing more than $1,000 in property damage.

Flash Shelton, a handyman-turned-squatter hunter, recently told Fox News that squatting laws needed to become stricter so landlords could more easily boot illegal occupants. He pointed to Atlanta, where, according to the National Rental Home Council, around 1,200 homes have been taken over by squatters.

"If we were to criminalize it, that would enable us to send in the National Guard to sweep that whole neighborhood and get those 1,200 houses clear," Shelton told Fox News in February.

basically security deposits in florida are unbearable—at minimum if you want to move into a new unit you can expect to have to pay 2-3k up front. if you can't save up that much you can't move. so this is an "alternative" where instead the landlord can charge you a "junk fee"—which there is no cap on—as a monthly fee, but this fee doesn't have to be used for basically anything, it doesn't have to be set aside to pay for property damages, it doesn't have to be set aside for anything. if there are damages you still can be liable for them even if you pay the fee every month. it is just a direct handout to your landlord, allowing them to raise your rent by hundreds of dollars and then charge you for damages at the end of everything (and anyone who's ever rented here can attest--they will charge damage payments for anything and everything they can find the slightest justification for).

hard to follow anything other than the states attacks on lgbt people recently (since it impacts me directly and i'm moving across the country because of it--takes a lot of your time and mental energy!) but the state has also been doing everything it can to help petty capital wring every last cent it can from the working class. maddening.

Republicans double down on efforts to deny women reproductive liberty

April 11, 2024

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

Republicans in both chambers of the Arizona legislature blocked Democratic efforts to repeal the state’s 1864 law banning all abortions and criminalizing abortion healthcare—leaving no doubt that the Arizona Supreme Court’s ruling was the precise outcome Republicans wanted. Although a few Arizona Republicans have expressed regret for their prior support for the 1864 law, it will remain in effect until the voters of Arizona approve a proposed state constitutional amendment that would recognize abortion as a “fundamental right.” See Arizona Right to Abortion Initiative.

The Speaker of the Arizona House has said that he will not allow a vote to repeal the 1864 law and GOP members of the Arizona Freedom Caucus released a statement that said,

The Supreme Court of Arizona made the correct ruling, upheld the intent of the legislature, and preserved the rule of law today by ruling that the pre-Roe law will remain effective. [¶¶] Sadly, it seems that some are choosing to reject the fundamental, core principle of protecting life. Some have chosen instead to jump on the bandwagon to legalize unrestricted abortions for the first 15 weeks of pregnancy —a position that would permit 95% of all existing abortions to continue. This is unacceptable, morally wrong, and abrasively out of step with the central tenants of the Republican Party Platform and Republican voters.

The second paragraph quoted above attacks Republicans who are “rejecting” the core Republican position on abortion—a fundamentalist criticism that applies to Donald Trump, who said on Wednesday that he would not sign a national abortion ban. See NPR, Trump backed a federal abortion ban as president. Now, he says he wouldn't sign one.

Trump is playing word games with the fundamental rights of women. If elected, Trump doesn’t need to “sign” a national abortion ban to enforce a national abortion ban. How can that be?

Project 2025 is a plan being prepared by Trump's reactionary advisors to implement an authoritarian regime under Trump if he is reelected. One prong of Project 2025 is to use the 1873 federal law known as the Comstock Act to effectuate a national ban. See Mark Joseph Stern in Slate, Arizona’s abortion ban is back. It’s every state’s future if Trump wins. (slate.com)

Like the 1864 Arizona law, the Comstock Act is a moribund law that has been overtaken by newer statutes—but it has not been repealed. A Trump-appointed Attorney General could simply start enforcing a federal law that has been on the books since 1873 and claim that there is no “ban” signed by Trump. The national “ban” on abortion was signed by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1873—and would be enforced as an existing law by his Attorney General (Kash Patel?).

Indictments under the Comstock Act would be challenged in federal court, which would place the ongoing validity of the Comstock Act on the US Supreme Court’s docket. It is reasonable to assume that the reactionary majority on the US Supreme Court will rule in the same way as the Republicans on the Arizona Supreme Court.

In short, don’t fall for Trump's “I won’t sign a national ban” lies. He will instruct his Attorney General to enforce the Comstock Act—and claim that he kept his promise.

Trump's other attempts to moderate his stance on reproductive freedom amount to incoherent flailing. He said on Wednesday that abortion is an issue of “states’ rights,” a formulation that omits women from the legal considerations of an act that can only be performed by them. To date, none of the fifty states has ever become pregnant—and none ever will.

Trump went further, confirming states should be free to jail doctors if they provide abortion healthcare.

But the privileged arrogance of conservative men denying reproductive liberty reached its apogee on Fox News. On Wednesday, a male Fox News commentator (Steve Moore) said that “having to get a bus ticket” to see a gynecologist “isn’t the worst thing in the world.” Beyond Moore’s unbounded arrogance lies profound ignorance.

Women frequently need abortion healthcare on an emergency basis—because they are hemorrhaging or spiraling into sepsis. “Buying a bus ticket” under such circumstances may be a death sentence for the woman. And depending on where the woman lives, the “bus ride” may be a thousand miles to secure healthcare that was a federal constitutional right for the last half century—before Dobbs.

The continued assault on women’s fundamental rights by the Republican Party—combined with the arrogance and ignorance of the men leading the charge—will have far-reaching ramifications in November 2024 and beyond. Every voter who cares about women should be motivated as never before to vote for Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in 2024. Republicans are making that point clearer every day.

Let me start by saying Im not a Trumper. Im not MAGA. I didn’t vote for him or Biden. So Im not coming at this from a perspective lens of “Trump awesome-roar!”

But Most Americans are not recognizing what’s actually occurring in our country.

The Democrats are sending us a message with the Trump raid, and it was a raid.

The message is this: they can and will use every instrument of power to control the American people and make us conform to their view of a global existence, devoid of individuality and personal freedoms.

At the time of the Trump’s raid in Florida, the Democrat-controlled Congress is passing a radical set of laws designed to continue the transformation of America from a free republic,to a subservient mass of people beholding to a centralized,omnipotent government, which is part of globalized effort to dominate the world.

The Democrats just told Trump, you and your followers are not beyond our reach. They also said anyone who wishes to live free, independent or believes in the simple power of individuality, freedom or the original tenants of freedom are also not untouchable. They will censor you, tax you, label you “MVE” and “terrorist “ ton restrict and remove your constitutional rights, they will harangue you, contact your employer, stalk you, your kids, and more. This isn’t the government of your childhood, your parents or grandparents. It is however the government of your future- if you allow it to be so.

Will there be a suitable response which will sustain America, or will we morph into a mere smear of vassals of the under control of a government, yet to be fully identified and unelected? I don’t know anymore.

The scythe of time is upon us. Decisions need to be made. Its not enough to vote, or rant online any longer.

ADDENDUM: Self-preservation of the ever expanding bureaucracies to meet the needs of the bureaucracies is in progress.

Update on the indentured servitude situation with my friends: friend got fired, was given 5 days to pack and leave, so they're looking into tenant protection laws bc they were added to the lease and were an unpaid live in nanny so they should be able to get at least 30 days until they have to move out. They also might sue my other friend.

I also feel VERY awkward about this whole situation. How did this turn from "yay going to Florida to see my internet friends and meet my long distance boyfriend for the first time" to "my boyfriend and I staying in the house of someone who, turns out, isn't a great person, for a month while comforting our even closer friend about how they've been basically an indentured servant for the past several months"

Do’s and Don’ts When Buying Florida Rental Properties for Sale

Investing in Florida rental properties for sale can be a lucrative opportunity, but it requires careful planning and strategy. Florida’s real estate market is dynamic, with strong demand for both vacation and long-term rentals. However, without the right approach, investors may face costly mistakes that could impact their returns. Knowing the essential do’s and don’ts can help you make informed decisions, maximize your investment, and avoid potential pitfalls. Whether you're a first-time investor or an experienced buyer, this guide will help you navigate the Florida rental market with confidence.

Do: Research the Local Market Thoroughly

Before buying a rental property, understanding Florida’s real estate trends is crucial. Research market conditions, rental demand, and price fluctuations in cities like Boca Raton, Miami, and Orlando. Look at historical property values, job growth, and neighborhood amenities that attract tenants. Check local zoning laws and short-term rental regulations, as some areas restrict vacation rentals. Additionally, consider the average rent prices and tenant demographics in your target location. A well-researched purchase ensures you choose a location with high occupancy rates and steady rental income potential.

Don’t: Overlook Florida’s Unique Real Estate Laws

When purchasing Florida rental properties for sale, it's essential to be aware of state-specific real estate laws. Florida has unique landlord-tenant regulations, property tax rules, and HOA restrictions that may impact your investment. For example, Florida law requires landlords to follow specific procedures when handling security deposits and evictions. Additionally, certain coastal areas have strict environmental guidelines for property modifications, especially in flood-prone zones. Consulting a local real estate attorney or property manager can help you navigate these regulations and avoid costly legal issues in the future.

Do: Consider Property Management Services

Managing a rental property can be time-consuming, especially if you don’t live in Florida full-time. Hiring a professional property management company can save you from dealing with tenant issues, maintenance requests, and marketing vacancies. A good property manager will handle tenant screening, rent collection, and property upkeep, ensuring a hassle-free investment. They can also keep you compliant with local rental laws and market trends. While it’s an additional cost, a property manager can help maintain high occupancy rates and protect your investment over time.

Don’t: Underestimate Maintenance and Insurance Costs

Florida’s climate can be harsh on rental properties, with hurricanes, humidity, and flooding posing potential risks. Before purchasing a property, account for ongoing maintenance costs, including roofing, HVAC systems, and landscaping. Additionally, Florida has higher-than-average insurance premiums due to storm risks. Be sure to get comprehensive property insurance that covers wind and flood damage. Even if your property is not in a designated flood zone, flood insurance is highly recommended, as water damage can be devastating and costly. Proper budgeting for maintenance and insurance will help you avoid financial surprises down the line.

Do: Choose the Right Financing Option

Exploring financing options before buying a rental property can help you secure the best deal. Conventional mortgages, FHA loans, and investment property loans are all viable options, but they come with different requirements. Some investors prefer cash purchases to avoid interest costs, while others use leverage to buy multiple properties. Compare interest rates, down payment requirements, and loan terms to ensure your financing choice aligns with your investment strategy. Additionally, check for Florida-specific incentives or tax benefits that might help reduce your financing costs.

Don’t: Ignore Tenant Demand and Rental Yields

The success of your rental investment depends on tenant demand and rental income potential. Research rental trends in your chosen location to determine if the property will generate positive cash flow. Look at occupancy rates, average rental prices, and seasonal trends. Properties in popular tourist destinations like Boca Raton may have high short-term rental demand, while areas near universities or business districts may attract long-term tenants. Also, consider the cost of property upkeep, taxes, and mortgage payments to ensure your rental yields remain profitable. A thorough market analysis will help you avoid purchasing a property that struggles with vacancies or low rental income.

Do: Work with a Trusted Real Estate Agent

Navigating Florida’s real estate market is easier with an experienced real estate agent who specializes in rental properties. A knowledgeable agent can help you find profitable properties, negotiate the best price, and guide you through the closing process. They can also provide insights into emerging markets and high-demand neighborhoods. A real estate agent familiar with rental properties will know what tenants are looking for and can advise you on features that add value, such as upgraded kitchens or proximity to schools. Partnering with a local expert increases your chances of securing a great investment property.

Conclusion

Investing in Florida rental properties for sale can be highly rewarding, but it requires careful planning and due diligence. By researching the market, understanding legal requirements, and considering property management and financing options, you can make a profitable investment. Avoid common mistakes such as underestimating maintenance costs, ignoring tenant demand, or failing to comply with local regulations. With the right strategy and professional guidance, you can build a successful rental portfolio in Florida. Let Signature Lots help you find the perfect investment property to meet your goals and maximize your returns.

How Can Professional Property Management in Camarillo Make Your Life Easier?

Renting is supposed to be one of the most hectic and time-consuming tasks in Camarillo, CA, for any landlord. Finding reliable tenants and juggling maintenance requests, indeed, require lots of effort and time. However, the entire procedure can be made quite easy with Camarillo property management. It makes it easier for the landlord because investment in a known property management company guarantees better maintenance of the rental property and also that a tenant will be satisfied with it. This blog will consider how property management services in Camarillo could streamline this process and allow one to run his rental business in a more effective manner.

How Can Property Management Services in Camarillo Help You Find the Right Tenants?

Tenant screening, including background checks and other relevant reports like credit reports, as well as verification of rental histories. A professional property management company in Camarillo will take care of this process. It allows you to make tenants responsible enough that their rental payments can be expected on time, as well as have good use of your property and compliance with what has been stated, at least in the lease. By letting the appropriate professionals take care of this, you can eliminate the guesswork and chances for problems to occur.

Why Should You Trust Professionals for Rental Maintenance and Repairs?

Being a landowner or a landlord, it is important to make your property tenant-friendly so that it retains tenants and guards your investment.

Whether it is plumbing or electrical or conducting general inspections, property managers will take care of all these things, ensuring your property remains in shape with minor problems rectified before they can become expensive repairs, and your tenants will also be kept well informed during the time they are under your roof. Furthermore, highly trained property managers usually possess a list of preferred contractors and vendors who will guarantee quality work at very competitive prices.

How Can Property Management Services Help You Stay Compliant with Local Laws?

Law and regulation pertaining to property constantly change, which makes keeping up to date with such changes a very difficult task. Rental properties in Camarillo are subjected to specific laws such as those governing rent control, eviction procedures, and fair housing practices.

Choosing the Right Property Management Company in Florida and California

Managing rental properties requires expertise, organization, and legal compliance. Whether you own a single rental unit or a large portfolio, hiring a professional property management company in California can streamline operations and maximize profitability. Florida and California are two of the largest real estate markets in the U.S., each with unique regulations and market conditions. Understanding the role of property management companies in these states can help property owners make informed decisions.

Property Management Companies in Florida

Florida's real estate market is thriving, with high demand for rental properties in cities like Miami, Orlando, and Tampa. A property management company in Florida handles a range of tasks, including:

1. Tenant Screening and Leasing

Finding the right tenants is crucial to ensuring a steady rental income. Property managers conduct background checks, verify income, and handle lease agreements to protect landlords from potential risks.

2. Rent Collection and Financial Reporting

Managing rental payments efficiently is key to maintaining cash flow. Florida property management companies use online portals to collect rent, send reminders, and generate financial reports.

3. Property Maintenance and Repairs

From routine inspections to emergency repairs, professional managers coordinate maintenance to keep properties in excellent condition. This reduces vacancies and improves tenant satisfaction.

4. Legal Compliance and Evictions

Florida has specific landlord-tenant laws that property managers must follow. They ensure compliance with fair housing regulations and handle eviction proceedings if necessary.

Property Management Companies in California

California’s rental market is highly regulated, with strict laws on rent control and tenant rights. Property management companies in California provide essential services such as:

1. Lease Management and Rent Control Compliance

Many cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, have rent control laws. Property managers ensure landlords adhere to local regulations and lease agreements.

2. Property Marketing and Tenant Placement

High competition in California’s rental market requires effective marketing. Property managers use online platforms, professional photography, and virtual tours to attract quality tenants.

3. Maintenance and Vendor Coordination

California properties must comply with safety and habitability standards. Property managers coordinate licensed contractors for repairs and inspections.

4. Legal Support and Dispute Resolution

Tenant disputes can be complex in California due to strong tenant protections. Professional managers handle legal issues, reducing the risk of lawsuits and compliance violations.

Choosing the Right Property Management Company

When selecting a property management company in Florida or California, consider the following:

Experience and Reputation: Look for a company with a strong track record in managing properties similar to yours.

Services Offered: Ensure the company provides comprehensive services, from tenant placement to legal compliance.

Technology and Communication: A good property manager uses modern tools for rent collection, reporting, and tenant communication.

Fees and Contract Terms: Compare management fees, lease renewal costs, and contract flexibility before signing an agreement.

Conclusion

Hiring a property management company in Florida or California can save landlords time, reduce stress, and improve property profitability. Whether navigating Florida’s booming rental market or complying with California’s strict regulations, a professional property manager ensures efficient operations and tenant satisfaction.

Texas landlords have too long enjoyed easy evictions without due process

In targeting ‘squatters,’ real tenants pay the price

By MARK MELTON

For months now, the landlord associations have been courting the Texas Legislature to make it even easier than it already is to evict poor tenants.

But instead of calling it what it is, they have framed their request as a need to evict “squatters.”

And no one likes squatters.

So, of course, it’s making headway.

But here’s the real story.

Squatters are like Sasquatch;

rarely seen by anyone in the wild and often confused with something else.

By contrast, evictions in Texas are a real problem, and these proposals would increase homelessness and cause real harm to low-income Texans.

Other states such as Florida and Georgia have passed actual, limited anti-squatter legislation, but what the landlord associations are proposing in Texas is a Trojan horse for sweeping, dangerous anti-tenant legislation.

This ruse must stop.

In March 2020, as the pandemic began to rage, I started a pro bono project that became a nonprofit law firm called the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center.

We defend tenants facing eviction for free.

Since then we’ve represented tens of thousands of tenants.

I can count on one hand how many times I’ve seen a legitimate squatter situation.

I won’t say it never happens.

But it almost never happens.

So why all the fuss about squatters?

The actual issue is that since the pandemic, additional funding has been available to help tenants facing eviction.

In 2021, I and two other lawyers won 95.9% of the 853 eviction cases we tried because that’s how often landlords didn’t follow the rule of law in eviction cases.

There was a culture of noncompliance in the landlord community that had not previously been challenged at scale.

Before the pandemic, fewer than 3% of tenants had a lawyer.

Most of the time, landlords could just walk into a courtroom and get an eviction without any evidence that a tenant had breached their lease.

Back in 1974, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall said the courts were never meant to be “rubber stamps for landlords seeking to evict their tenants.”

But that’s exactly what was happening in Dallas courts.

As more lawyers like us showed up in courtrooms, landlords were forced to actually prove their cases.

They don’t like that.

After one particular case I won, the landlord turned to the judge and complained in frustration, “You mean I have to bring evidence to every one of these hearings now?”

That’s how used to winning they were before we arrived on the scene.

They didn’t even bring evidence to court.

Today, the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center represents around 500 households each month in court.

No longer is it the case that landlords can simply railroad tenants and unlawfully remove them from their home.

There’s a new accountability in the system that didn’t previously exist.

Tenants are, for the first time, getting the due process they are owed under the Constitution.

Landlords have decided that because the rules no longer work for them, they want to change the rules.

It’s not squatters they’re concerned about; it’s real tenants, the majority of which have children in the home.

Usually, it’s single moms and their kids.

But, obviously, the landlords can’t say that out loud, so they instead reframe it with an unsympathetic villain, the imaginary squatter.

Mountains of research have shown that evictions increase homelessness and harm to individuals and their children, as well as whole communities and taxpayers.

You may be thinking that people who don’t pay their rent deserve to be kicked into the street.

Perhaps, they too are unsympathetic villains in your mind.

But this is America, where the rule of law is supposed to mean something.

Before we do something as serious as throw a single mother and her children into the street, we should be absolutely sure that’s the right answer under the law.

Eviction has serious consequences and deserves serious deliberation, not the 3 minutes and 59 seconds we currently spend, which is the average length of an eviction hearing, according to a 2022 report by the Child Poverty Action Lab.

Often the real issue is something like this:

A mother complained about the air conditioner not working, and the landlord would rather kick them out than fix it.

That family deserves due process, a simple chance to be heard in a court of law to state their case before we remove them from their home. But

the new proposed policies would allow a landlord to simply attest that this mom is a “squatter” and remove her without a hearing if she can’t figure out how to file a legal affidavit with the court within three days.

Do you know how to prepare an affidavit?

Neither does she.

Under current law, evicting a tenant is easy.

You give them one notice.

Then you file a form with the justice of the peace.

If you can prove to the court you gave the notice correctly and that the tenant breached the lease, you show up with the constable and remove them and their things.

It’s not hard.

But the landlords are asking the Legislature to remove all of the due process that only minimally protects tenants because that’s just too much for them to handle.

We shouldn’t be kicking kids out of their homes without due process.

The landlord associations are out of control.

759 eviction cases on one day for suffering residents

On the coldest day Houston had experienced in nearly year, a whopping 759 eviction cases were scheduled to be heard last Tuesday by one judge, causing hours of delays and frustration for residents forced to wait outside.

There were so many cases that, even if each were resolved in a minute – roughly the amount of time it takes to record a default judgment if one or both parties doesn’t show up – it would have taken nearly 13 hours, without meal or bathroom breaks, to hear them all.

After standing outside in the subfreezing weather for one hour and then inside the lobby for 2 1/ 2 hours, Kornelia Allen wondered why anyone would schedule hundreds of cases in a courtroom with a capacity of 92 people.

For Allen, who has had back surgery, standing for so long with nowhere to sit was far from ideal – especially if there was a good chance there wouldn’t be enough time to hear her case that day.

“It makes no sense,” she said.

The nearly 800 eviction cases scheduled that day in Gulfton was the largest number on record for eviction hearings set for one day in Harris County.

By comparison, in 2023, two dockets that raised eyebrows in the same court – Precinct 5, Place 1 on Chimney Rock Road – had fewer than 500 hearings each.

The megadocket was partially attributable to an outgoing judge’s decision to reset many of the cases from his lameduck period to the first eviction docket of the next judge, James Lombardino.

It also was due to a quirk in Texas law.

In Harris County, the area each justice of the peace serves has not been updated in more than 50 years, a period in which the population boomed in the suburbs.

As a result, some courts hear 15 times the number of civil cases that other courts do.

The Houston County Commissioners Court has declined to adjust the jurisdictions for more than half a century because county constables, who have scaled their operations to expand with growing populations, share precinct boundaries with justices of the peace, which have not.

County constables wield considerable political power and have little incentive to support a redistricting that would shrink their borders, and the Commissioners Court has allowed the problem to fester.

That means Harris County residents’ experiences vary wildly in the justice system, depending on where they live.

Waiting in the cold

While some landlords and tenants attend quiet, nearly empty courtrooms and have ample time to argue their cases, in Precinct 5 – which stretches west of Gulfton out to Waller and Katy and down toward Sugar Land – plaintiffs, defendants and lawyers queued in a line snaking around the courthouse and back through the parking lot.

As the sun rose, their breath formed white clouds of vapor.

They wore hoodies and puffy coats and sandals and work boots.

Others waited in their vehicles to stay warm.

When the doors opened at 8 a.m., they could not all fit inside.

Even the people who had arrived the earliest and braved the 31-degree weather were not guaranteed a spot in the courtroom, the only place with seating.

First, the staff allowed only lawyers into the courtroom. Tenants and landlords murmured to one another and clutched folders filled with documents they had hoped to present.

“This is crazy,” one woman said.

At 9 a.m., the staff began allowing in landlords and their representatives.

“Plaintiffs only. Plaintiffs only,” the assistant chief clerk said.

More than 80 filed in.

Tenants voiced their disbelief.

“It’s inhuman to have us waiting outside in the cold,” Chynna Hunter said.

Delays in eviction cases

Lombardino took the bench and explained that his predecessor, Israel B. Garcia Jr., had reset many of his November and December cases to that day, creating the historic docket.

“We want to make sure the folks today who want a hearing can having a hearing,” Lombardino said.

“I apologize for what’s going on.”

In an email sent during a break that afternoon, he said he did not like resetting cases without cause and that he was working to resolve as many cases as he could.

One of the landlords piped up.

“What if your case has been reset three times without being heard?” she asked, frustration evident in her voice.

Outside the courtroom, tenants were also upset about having taken off work to attend a hearing, only to be reset.

The Commissioners Court could tackle the problem by temporarily hiring additional judges, as it did in 2021 to handle a backlog in district courts, or by adding more justice of the peace courts to the precincts where the caseloads are the largest.

Dana Karni, litigation director for the nonprofit Lone Star Legal Aid, said increasing the number of courthouses “would certainly relieve some of the busiest courts.”

Until the Commissioners Court takes action, huge disparities continue to exist throughout the region, taxing the ability of Harris County residents and landlords in certain neighborhoods to receive justice.

On this day, the assistant chief clerk, who was stationed at the door of the courtroom, called each party’s name.

Then the names were echoed by a staff member in the lobby and then, more distantly, by another staff member to the people waiting outdoors.

The process repeated with each case — a high-stakes game of telephone that was not always heard in the lobby over the hubbub of tenants commiserating, playing the cartoon “Bluey” to distract their newborns or recording TikTok videos.

If tenants or landlords are not present when their cases are called, the court automatically rules against them.

And so to avoid that outcome, they were at the court’s beck and call — forced to wait hours outdoors or without seating, and forced to take more time off work if their case was ultimately rescheduled.

At 11 a.m., a woman with a cane who had been there three hours decided to leave, explaining that she couldn’t stand for any longer, even it meant risking the loss of her eviction case.

“It’s archaic and barbaric,” she said before heading out.
