Many Latinos, including agricultural workers in states like California, are being forced out of their residences as more landlords are taking action with the end of pandemic aid.
“They have given me several notices that they are going to evict me, that they are going to take me to court, that they give me a few days. I have gone to talk to them to make small payments, because I also have to pay for electricity, gas and food, which is very expensive. And with all that, the truth is that there isn’t much left of the check,” Marta, who has fallen behind on her payments, said.
Those who lack legal status are often afraid to dispute a case in court for fear of being deported, he said. At the Eviction Lab, according to Garnham, they are aware of multiple cases of landlords who have discriminated against tenants because of their immigration status. “We have seen many people seeking help. Technically they say that the pandemic is over, but prices continue to rise," she said.
Since California doesn't have enough low-income housing, people stay in places that aren't suitable for living and many landlords are not making the necessary repairs. Flores has lived in California for more than 40 years but is still not a legal U.S. resident. She said that her status as an undocumented migrant prevented her from demanding her rights.
