It was, for the tenant I was evicting today. The judge was dumbfounded. One of the reasons she was making fun them was their 23 year old son was helping getting them evicted. The judge mercilessly questioned them whey they wouldn't put out this bad seed. On top of that she (and the rest of us) couldn't understand why after 20 years in Houston, the only reason they hadn't moved was they were waiting for a reference from Florida, showing felonies!!!! They have been living without power for almost a month now. Even still they stood before the judge and tried to explain about medical problems. The judge just looked at them and said she would have just moved sooner. There was really no pity there. And if you had dealt with this family, most of you wouldn't either.
Sorry, just needed to rant.
