One liberal professor takes advantage of another liberal professor.... What’s not to like?

"including feminist giants Judith Butler and Wendy Brown"

A story of mythic proportions. Great writing.

Abel told Mother Jones that she's hoping her ordeal could persuade policymakers to reform Caifornia's eviction laws.

Ridiculous. She must not be aware of what political party runs this state. There is no chance. None.

No legal problem here in Florida.

In addition, I get first months, last months and two months security, and start eviction 10 days after late rent.

Also, my maintenance man is 6’ 8”, a former Bolles High School football 3-season starting lineman, and I gave him my old Glock.

No problems!

When I was working psych wards nothing changed until a sacred bleeding heart social worker or psychologist got beat, spit on, threatened, or even yelled at( threatened in some manner) BOOM! all of a sudden there are consequences for behavior.

You are on to something that I've observed( and you obviously) over and over. If there's a way to play the leftist and work the other leftists that would change things. Sad but true

In CA a guest establishes tenancy after 30 days in residence, whether they pay rent or not. Never let a guest get close to 30 days....

I have a few units in Silicon valley.
I am VERY careful who I rent to.

Liberal Academics are only slightly less horrible people than terrorists. I remember back in Illinois, there was one woman, hard Left, she was such a psychopath even the other professors were terrified of her. She was always suing people and filing grievances, and putting up anonymous slander in the halls ... really, just a psycho witch.

And there was a fellow who was always going on about "equality of outcome" (communism) but he was the first to go on strike when the groundskeepers got a raise and the professors didn't. He actually had the nerve to complain that they were getting almost as much as new professors, and when I asked him, "I thought that was what you wanted," he sputtered that this was DIFFERENT... I hated them.

Here in California, in 2002, I had a tenant cease paying rent. It took 6 months to evict him. He and his friends and family caused more and more damage to the property in the time the court kept granting him extensions, and I was getting no income from unit, while I still had expenses I had to meet.

With no income from the unit, I still had to pay the property’s mortgage, insurance, taxes, and water bill. I had to pay the lawyer to handle the eviction. I had to pay the sheriff to actually deliver the final eviction notice to force the family out. I had to pay the locksmith to meet the sheriff to get into the unit. Animal Control had to come get the dogs (which weren’t allowed under the lease), but I don’t think I had to pay for them.

After the sheriff finally got him out, it took a couple of months to repair the damage and then the property was SOLD! I will never again be a landlord in California.

When people complain about the high price of renting in California, I just shake my head. Landlords are taking an enormous risk, and the state laws are stacked against the property owners. Landlords have to try to get every possible dollar out of their property, as they are always running the risk of a bad tenant and months of no income to get the tenant evicted.

The sharing economy

You can always count on liberals to wrap up communism in flowery words. Who can be against sharing?

In my experience, so-called "Academics" are often the most narrow-minded, vicious, bureaucratic and political people you will ever meet.

A certain adjunct lecturer from Columbia and Harvard comes to mind.
