?? The Future of Rent is Changing—Are Tenants at Risk? ?? Imagine waking up to an?eviction notice—not because you failed to pay rent, but because an?algorithm made a mistake. No phone call, no discussion, just an automated system deciding your fate.?This isn’t science fiction—it’s happening now. As landlords move toward?pure automation, rent payments, late fees, and even evictions are being handled without human oversight. One glitch, one bank delay, or one miscalculation could mean?losing your home overnight. ???What happens when a tenant is wrongfully evicted by an automated system? ???Can landlords override a flawed algorithm—or are their hands tied? ???What protections exist for renters in a world where computers control housing? We need safeguards?before?automation takes over the rental industry. In this article, I break down?what could go wrong, real-life cases of tenants losing their homes due to automation, and the laws we need to fight back. ???Read now and join the movement for housing protections before it’s too late.???

DEI is a distraction. The real issue is the caste system. We’ve been told that?Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)?is the key to progress, but the truth is, it’s just?another layer of control—a way to make people feel included?without actually changing the systems that keep them locked in place.?The?real problem?isn’t just race, gender, or representation—it’s?a caste system?that dictates who gets resources, opportunities, and stability. I see it every day in housing, in employment, in neighborhoods that never change. It’s time to?stop chasing performative change?and start dismantling the?barriers that actually hold people back. Let’s talk about it.

The impact of this affordability crisis on evictions is underestimated because of an often-invisible problem: informal evictions. Beyond filing for formal evictions, landlords can “informally” coerce or force tenants to vacate homes without going through the court system. For example, raising rent by exorbitant amounts—or simply threatening to do so—often effectively forces tenants out of their homes. Race-based housing discrimination remains persistent, and evidence shows that formal evictions disproportionately impact Black tenant households and neighborhoods with higher shares of Black tenants. It’s likely that informal evictions also weigh more heavily on Black communities. Black households face the highest risk of being severely rent-burdened (spending more than 50% of their income on housing), and the racial gap in cost burdens is increasing.

The past two weeks have been nothing short of eventful.

I’ve heard mayors refer to migrants as their “workforce,” and while that may sound harsh, it’s also the truth. These workers are showing up and filling positions that have been empty for far too long. And here’s the uncomfortable part: Before migrants came, many of these jobs were available, but they weren’t being taken.
