Seattle landlord struggles with violent tenants amid eviction delays in court

Описание: In the time he’s been a landlord in Seattle, Osho Berman said he has had tenants trash their apartments, attack their neighbors and even threatened to kill him, yet he has no effective way to get them out of his building.

A combination of Seattle’s tenant protection laws and the court backlog for eviction cases has left him powerless to act, Berman said, and it feels like he has lost control of his own properties. Even worse, it can put the rest of the tenants in his building at risk.

When he first started, Berman hoped to provide some stability for low-income people who wanted to get back on their feet but faced barriers and needed housing that other landlords wouldn't provide. He said in recent years his initial intent has back-fired badly.
