Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
An eviction on 7th St. between S and T Street, NW, in July 2016.
If you are evicted in D.C., as many as 25 movers will enter your home and take your belongings out to the street. These movers may be homeless, and they might not be paid minimum wage. Armed U.S. marshals will be present dressed in SWAT vests. These practices are not required by law, but they are standard in the District of Columbia. The U.S. Marshals Service is hoping to change that, though, by giving tenants more notice and by not directing landlords to remove property to the street. Kojo discusses these changes and the legal questions they raise.
