Dem. Rep Marcy Kaptur has filed multiple eviction petitions against her tenants despite vocally pushing for an eviction moratorium and defending squatters in the past.
Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who has a long history of defending squatters' rights and decrying foreclosure evictions during the 2008 recession, has filed eviction notices against multiple tenants of properties she owns. One of those eviction petitions, filed in 2021 in Toledo municipal court, was against a tenant for 'non-payment of rent,' and that same tenant faced another eviction from Kaptur in 2023 for failing to pay rent.
Possession is 99% of the law; you stay in your house.' Kaptur said on the floor of the House of Representatives in 2009 after the 2008 housing crisis. 'So, I say to the American people, you be squatters in your own homes. Don’t you leave.' In 2017, Kaptur slammed Trump Treasury Secretary nominee Steve Mnuchin for allegedly profiting from foreclosures and complained that 'Mr. Mnuchin profited personally off of kicking people out of their homes.
