In San Antonio, TX I was surprised to find the shotgun-wielding landlady telling me to get out before midnight exactly the day before my rent was due... turns out she wanted to kick out a delinquent tenant in the unit with the same letter but one civic number over, but I can't blame her for taking direct action. Scared the piss out of me though! At least I got a free month out of it.


Probably the case of an illegal eviction. Other illegal evictions include: changing the locks, shutting of the utilities, blasting music outside the apartment at 3am.


Probably was an illegal eviction however, one that she could have received criminal charges for.


Maybe (I don't know what TX law looks like) but that's not a lot of comfort once you've been shot.
