The New Homeless

A landlord of eight Florida apartment blocks plans to evict people who refuse to get the Covid vaccine, after 15 of his tenants died in the pandemic. 

Santiago A. Alvarez owns eight apartment complexes, with 1,200 units, in Broward and Miami-Dade counties and is the first known large-scale landlord in the US to impose a vaccine requirement for tenants.

A South Florida mother of two told "Fox & Friends" Friday she was "very shocked" to receive a notice from her landlord to get vaccinated within two weeks or face eviction from her apartment.

"There was no loophole, no working with me, no extensions and I literally had to walk away," said Jasmine Irby, saying she was concerned about having an eviction on her record if she could not get the shot in time.
