    Who cares if she was “trying to be a landlord” she is a landlord. Subjecting millions of the poorest to life without basic landlord tenant protections by making them optional in order to save a singular hypothetical grandma from a bad decision is pants on head stupid.

    If you want to help her without changing a singular law just fund whichever court handles evictions and petty crime sufficiently so that they can proceed at at a normal pace. If the case against grandma robber actually looks sufficient offer grandma robber a plea that looks reasonable based on the crime in question and have her slap a restraining order on the criminal. BAM.

    Not only is all of this fair it also encourages robbing bitch to take an immediate plea deal of GTFO right this second to avoid the above which is actually what would happen in 99% of cases.

    All of this without ruining the lives of countless people for a probably made up grandma
