We had a little separate room branching off the break room about the size of a powder room with just one table and one chair in it. It was so you could go cry or sleep or just not look at your coworkers on your break if you needed it....

Oh man, I never finished it because I didn’t realise I could use the monkey as a wrench because “monkey wrench” was not a thing in my country. We have “shifting spanner” instead, so the wordplay was lost :(
For me, my Dad brought home a laptop from work and we looked up pictures of pokemon and went to the Simpsons website, circa around 1999. How about you?
If Gopher counts, 1993, downloading Wayne’s World and Ren & Stimpy clips at the university’s biochemistry lab on a Mac IIsi. Otherwise 1996, looking up Green Day lyrics on Webcrawler.com and posting on Usenet from a Sun SPARCstation in the computer lab.
As much as no-reason evictions are bullshit, don’t let them convince you that any reason is a good one. Even the landlord wanting to move in should not be reason enough. These are people’s homes already.
Which section of society needs more help, renters or investors? Let’s say you pay off your rental property and it now costs you $100 per week. Let me guess, for some reason you can’t lower the rent.
Thanks for the considered reply. I think we can agree that it’s a difficult balance between the incompatible interests of two parties who both want to live in one place. Maybe my take is too extreme, I’ve just seen enough of disadvantaged people getting the short end of the stick.
In Aussie society, we tend to treat housing like other property, where the owner has ultimate control albeit bound by a contract and (IMO weak) renter protections. My view is housing is in a fundamental way a class of its own and should lean towards the resident who has the real interest in it rather than the owner who has a financial interest. That’s not to say the owner should be at the mercy of a bad tenant who is damaging the property or anything–the rules around upkeep and maintenance are not too bad. But around decisions of who gets to live there, the bias should be towards the person who has made it their home. If the owner wants to live somewhere else, then they can find somewhere else that’s available. They would even get the benefit of the timing being on their own terms, unlike an evictee. I’m sure there would be social and economic impacts from that.
Anyway, I want to take a minute to praise the landlords that provide longer than required notice and any other assistance to the tenants they evict. Landlords aren’t all bad, it’s just a system that needs change.
