Tenant David Arfa facing eviction jumps to death in Queens New York

If  you don't know yet my pet topic is tenants rights in NYC. Facing eviction and homelessness bring fear and terror to many New Yorkers and in this case death. A 61 year old disabled man named David Arfa threw himself out of his fourth-floor window last week (Aug 4th or so).

The Marshall and the landlord and some kind of phantom social worker (whose identity and existence is questionable) came to this mans home to throw him out and all his belongings!

This man had lived with his mother for over twenty years and when she died he was left alone, mentally disabled and probably unable to understand what was happening to him.

Then the landlord whose name was conveniently NOT published woke up one day and probably said to himself, "I can get more money for that apartment. The mother just died it's a good time to raise the rent and have this 61 year old man evicted".

Shame on you landlord!

The reporters Matt McNulty and Leonica Valentine contacted the Marshall David Capuano and the  NYC Marshalls Association who said that David Arfa had not paid rent since December.

And so what? Is this some kind of justification to throw a disabled 61 year old man mourning for his mother out of his home?

It's not the business of the Marshalls office to give some kind of justification for this death.

This is a sick and inhumane way to treat tenants and yet it happens every day.

STOP THIS NYC!
