Not all are 'forced' and some of the evicted were because of drugs, loudness, arguing, not keeping their place clean. When an owner puts huge amounts of money into even a small place, they want to realize decent profit for themselves. Not sink all profit back into repairs. They want it to try and be pleasant for ALL the tenants. Now, that being said, you can please ALL the people SOME of the time, or SOME of the people ALL the time but you will NEVER, EVER, please ALL the people ALL the time. We owned a 12 unit building. Fantastic people all the time we owned it but for a pair of male foreign students. The 5 years we owned it, we NEVER raised the rent unless a unit emptied, then it was raised to current value. When we sold it, we still had tenants that were paying $120 for a 1 bedroom/balcony & $220 for a 2 bedroom. Yes, they had the old 'harvest gold' or 'avocado green' appliances that still worked and matching carpets.
