Ed. Note: StreetSense Media reported July 11th:
“Evicted tenants have a new chance to avoid the typical scene of belongings strewn on the sidewalk and left to be taken or damaged, according to the lawmakers behind new emergency legislation.
The D.C. Council passed a bill July 10 to grant those tenants an extra seven days to figure out what to do with their property. The vote was 11 to 2.”
The new process begins August 13th:

“Dear PoPville,
On July 12, 2018, we witnessed the eviction of one of our neighbors while she and her child were not home. The new managers hired at 13th & U directed the building engineers to put her and her child’s belongings on U Street at 3:00pm as passers by and vagrants picked through her personal property. U.S. Marshalls and MPD were not present as required by D.C. Code §42-3505.01. Attached video and photos show the horrendous acts. 13th & U has a private loading dock where they could have left her to pick up her personal property.
We hope to warn current and prospective DC residents and to encourage them to understand their rights as tenants.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
