Thread on eviction court in Omaha from July 1. A person sat in the court (which is a tiny room where the asshole judge makes every person sit with no social distancing and no masks because he’s a Republican).

Court opens at 0900, he bars the door at 0910. Doesn’t matter what time of the day your case is.

He requires tenants to show they don’t owe what the landlord claims, which is the opposite of how the law works.

You would not be surprised that every tenant loses.

a man being evicted is asked by the judge if he has evidentiary issues with the argument that he owes rent. tenant says he doesn’t know what that means but his wife died and he hasn’t gotten his covid payments. judge asks again if he has evidentiary concerns, grants the eviction.
