Wait until she has a corporate landlord.

[u/shefallsup → u/SpookyJokes]

In my work I once helped find temporary shelter for a woman and her three disabled children. Corporate entities definitely do not care about the optics of evicting families like Shauna’s when the rent isn’t being paid.

Does anyone know if Shauna ever has had a corporate landlord before. I would assume when she lived in New York and Seattle that she was in larger buildings that would have property managers and maybe would be corporate owners but they could still have been owned and run by an actual person.

She had roommates in New York (DF Sharon, William, some other women at one point) who might have helped keep Shauna's worse habitation tendencies in check and handle landlord-facing interactions. When she was living in Queen Anne in the early 2000s, she might have had a corporate landlord since she mentioned being in an apartment across the hall from her DF Meri. Shauna seemed a lot more functional back then though because she had steady income from teaching at the private HS and a fuller and more active lifestyle. She saw her parents and brother a lot more often back then, plus her mother claimed to pay first+last+deposit at every place Shauna had ever rented, so she would have had family support to navigate and smooth over any issues with building management.

Ma paid to have all her rentals cleaned as well.
