Once the courts issue their judgment, the Marshals have to carry it out. And by the time an eviction happens, the landlord is already out many months rent and legal fees, since this whole process takes a long time. If s/he calls it off, it has to start again from zero, and most can't afford that.<br /><br />For it to turn out better, someone would have had to work with this woman for months to help her deal with her hoarding problem and help her voluntarily move to a more affordable place instead of being evicted. <br /><br />Even then it's difficult -- a hoarder got evicted from a building I used to live in, for health/fire violations, not nonpayment, and the building tried to work with him literally for years before realizing the problem couldn't be mitigated.<br /><br />There are no easy answers, and yes it's sad when someone's whole life is thrown out on the street. I'm impressed with Jim Graham for helping out. And also impressed with JK Moving and Storage -- they moved me a few years ago and did a great job, and now I know they're good people all around.Alexnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6943915079598040271.post-82719036928694700772010-09-23T02:00:11.771+01:002010-09-23T02:00:11.771+01:00thank you for writing this thoughtful and informat...thank you for writing this thoughtful and informative pieceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
