TL;DR: In this paper, the consequences of tenant eviction in property management practice with a view to suggesting measures aimed at reducing its incidence was examined, and the most vulnerable categories of tenants are within the lower income bracket.
Abstract: This paper examines the consequences of tenant eviction in property management practice with a view to suggesting measures aimed at reducing its incidence. The 16 registered estate surveyors and 114 evicted tenants in the study area were surveyed with a structured questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using frequency distribution tables and frequencies. The study revealed that the most vulnerable categories of tenants are within the lower income bracket. In spite of the substantial qualitative and quantitative housing problems in Nigeria, the impact of eviction can be severe. Eviction resulted in homelessness for the displaced tenants; it led to enmity, loss of income and time wastage for litigation and also bad reputation for the manager especially where the case was lost. Evictions when inevitable should be undertaken with a degree of concern and care must be taken to avoid waste of resources. The paper observes that it is necessary to create a national database of detailed information on evictions to help determine the scope of the problem, bring national attention to eviction issues, and develop housing policies and programs that might decrease the occurrence and impacts of evictions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a model of "tenancy rent control" where landlords are not allowed to raise the rent on sitting tenants nor to evict them, though they are free to set the nominal rent when taking on a new tenant.
Abstract: We consider a model of 'tenancy rent control' where landlords are not allowed to raise the rent on sitting tenants nor to evict them, though they are free to set the nominal rent when taking on a new tenant. If there is any inflation in the economy, landlords prefer to take short-staying tenants. Assuming that there is no way for landlords to tell a tenant's type, an adverse selection problem arises. If in this context, landlords have monopoly power-which, as we argue, is indeed pervasive-then the housing market equilibria can exhibit some unexpected properties. Most strikingly, landlords may prefer not to raise the rent even when there is excess demand for housing. Such rents are labeled "efficiency rents" in this paper and their existence shows that tenancy rent control can give rise to equilibria that look as if there were traditional rent control in which the rent of each unit has a flat ceiling. In other words, tenancy rent control may not achieve the flexibility, which it was expected to impart, to the system of traditional rent control.

TL;DR: In this paper, the causes and methods of tenant eviction in property management practice in Ilorin metropolis, Nigeria with a view to suggesting measures aimed at reducing its incidence, is examined.
Abstract: This paper examines the causes and methods of tenant eviction in property management practice in Ilorin metropolis, Nigeria with a view to suggesting measures aimed at reducing its incidence. The 16 registered estate surveyors and valuers in the study area were surveyed with a structured questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. The study’s result revealed that rent default which accounted for 57.66% of the reasons for evictions was the most important. The most significant method adopted for evicting tenants was quit notice. This paper provides a basic guideline for policy makers to seek a solution to eviction problems. It also provides an alternative method of eviction which is relatively less expensive and time consuming. Key words: Property management, tenant, tenant eviction, summary possession, premises recovery, tenancy, Ilorin, Nigeria.

TL;DR: In the United States, only half of the acreage that is in farms is owned by its owners, the owners working personally with or without assistance of family and hired labor as discussed by the authors, while the other half is managed by managers or tenants who have to lease part if not all of the land they use.
Abstract: At the present time only half of the acreage that is in farms in the United States is farmed by its owners, the owners working personally with or without assistance of family and hired labor. The other half is farmed by managers or by tenants who have to lease part if not all of the land they use. This was the situation in I935 and also in 1930 but a greater proportion of the acreage in farms was formerly owneroperated. In 1900 almost three-fifths, 59%, of the acreage in farms was farmed by its owners. These figures relative to acreage suggest that the tenure position of the American farmer is weak and is on the decline. This is a conclusion that may be confirmed by statistics of farms by number and kind, and also by what is known about the investment interests of farmers and others in farm real estate.

TL;DR: The structure of Chinese rural society, the causes of the agricultural depression during the Republican era, and their relationship to the Communist Revolution of 1949 have long been subjects of ideological and scholarly debate as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The structure of Chinese rural society, the causes of the agricultural depression during the Republican era, and their relationship to the Communist Revolution of 1949 have long been subjects of ideological and scholarly debate. There are two principal schools of interpretation: the distributionist school, with which many Chinese nationalists and Marxists may be identified, and the technologist school, into which many Western scholars fall.' For the distributionists, Chinese rural society was characterized by maldistribution of wealth, the symptoms of which were the increasing concentration of landownership and growing tenancy, and the concomitant exploitation of tenants by landlords through rack rents, usurious interest rates, and price manipulations. The implication was that drastic land reform or social revolution was necessary to end China's rural crisis.
