Just Cause Eviction Hearing, Mayor Walsh Expected to Propose Ordinance

On November 30^th 2016, tenant advocates and owners assembled peacefully at Boston City Hall to support or oppose a “just cause eviction” ordinance. According to a reporter familiar with the story, Mayor Marty Walsh was expected to propose a just cause eviction ordinance in December. Landlords oppose it as a form of rent control, which ultimately results in shortages and makes conditions worse for tenants struggling to find housing.
