But Still… Was It Legal?

According to the legal website nolo.com, it’s illegal to lock out a tenant. This applies to the landlord and includes incidents of damage to property, poor maintenance, or, the one we’re dealing with here, missing rent payments. This is probably why the commenters raised the alarm when they saw what was going on.

The truth is that the girls were treading a rather thin line and could easily have been arrested and had charges pressed against them. Not to say that couldn’t still happen, but while they were doing their eviction, it didn’t seem like they cared very much about getting caught.
