How to Evict Your Landlord, part 3: Public nuisance
from Lake Effect Spotlight · host WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR
In parts one and two, we learned about out-of-state landlord David Tomblin. He owns over 200 rental properties in Milwaukee and is fighting lawsuits that threaten to cut him off from rental income. We also learned about how his tenants united against him, and the city’s case for declaring his business model a public nuisance. Today, we examine how the city has tried similar strategies for dealing with negligent landlords in the past, and we finally speak with the man himself - David Tomblin. This is the third and final part of “How to Evict Your Landlord," a series produced by WUWM’s Jimmy Gutierrez and Lake Effect’s Sam Woods.
