How do Evictions Work in Oregon? We made diagram of how an eviction might proceed and the outcomes that are possible. Most tenants navigate the process w/o legal support and while balancing their responsibilities to work, school, family, and their health. https://t.co/F2MOA99ukL

An eviction isn’t a single event. They are the culmination of a series of choices made by people with unequal knowledge, power & resources in an unjust legal system. @EvictedInOregon is a research project interested in understanding evictions, for the purpose of eliminating them

"Oregon landlords submitted more than 14,337 eviction filings in the first 10 months of 2022; more than half of these were for nonpayment. Most of these cases will end in eviction, a bleak trend in Oregon and courts nationwide," @Piperamcdaniel reports. https://t.co/7NGoXG1JsP

Excited to dive into this research by Sabbeth which finds that the laws that structure eviction court overwhelmingly benefit the landlord and ultimately encourage eviction.

“Eviction is the product of the legal system that political leaders have chosen to construct,” @KathrynSabbeth argues. By design, this system upholds the power imbalance between landlords and tenants."

Despite having lined up the money to pay the debt, Mitchell ended up in eviction court, pressing for time to move to a new apt and to keep the eviction off her record. The court on Fri dismissed the eviction case upon her agreement to move out immediately. https://t.co/COaEUQXHRy

Today I talked to one of the researchers about the project, how it got started and what some of the limitations are. One big roadblock is that a lot of eviction information is impossible to track in Oregon. Colleen Carroll--PSU researcher--explains why:
