in NYC so the landlords just burned the building down, didn't care if people were in it or not. Arkansas has a law now on the books where the landlord is always right. If you paid him yesterday for the next month. He can sign an eviction notice that same day, no court or anything. The sheriff comes out that day or the next and throws you out in the street. Makes no different if he owes you. The landlord is always right.

Little Rock is closing down a whole low to medium rent housing complex in January and evicting everyone because of code violations.

I am glad I have my little house out in the country. Not much of one, but it is cheap to heat and cheap to cool.
