Listen "RVA Revisited: Addiction to Evictions"
Episode Synopsis
While we gear up for Season 3, we invite you to revisit some of our favorite episodes from previous seasons.
---
Evictions seem like a simple issue. Renters should pay their rent. When they don't, they need to leave. But the realities of renting and leaving are much more complicated than that. Today, Rich talks with a housing expert to learn why eviction court is rarely a winning prospect for renters. The city's plan? Pair tenants facing eviction with a lawyer for free. Later we talk with a lawyer who already does this work and what challenges they face when representing renters.
