last month that such an ordinance could help tenants but also bring unintended consequences. He worries landlords may make it harder for some people to rent at their properties. “Any time it becomes harder to evict a tenant for nonpayment, landlords will have to apply stricter requirements,” Barrett said.
Throughout the pandemic, thanks in part to local attorney Mark Melton, some tenants have had extra time to avoid eviction. An ordinance passed by the city in 2020, written by Melton, gave tenants up to 60 days to avoid eviction as long as they provided proof that they were financially affected by COVID-19.
That’s where Melton and his nonprofit Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center come in, providing free legal representation to anyone in the city facing eviction. For landlords who did abide by the ordinance, there was nothing to prevent them from evicting a tenant at the end of the 60 days, even if they had the money to pay the late rent.
