Beyond the risk of self-eviction, there is also the concern that tenants will be
unable to litigate their cases effectively during the public health emergency for any
number of reasons: for example, a tenant may be sick, or caring for someone who
is sick, or caring for children who are out of school; or a tenant may lack access to a
home computer or a reliable internet connection needed to access forms or other
case-related information online, conduct research, or attend a remote hearing; 23 or a
tenant may be unable to amass their proof or seek out counsel to contest the
allegations being made against them or establish defenses.
