Policing tenancy
This paper is concerned with the role of state power, specifically policing, in the precaritization of tenancy. By focusing on nuisance abatement lawsuits, we demonstrate how the state intervenes in landlord-tenant relations to render tenants as nuisance and subject them to containment and removal. We interpret the dialectics of containment and removal as an important part of the struggle over land. If tenancy has typically been understood in rel…
Tenants of the World, Unite! From Atomisation to Structural Power in Financialised Tenancy
Recent transformations in the political economy of housing—particularly the corporatisation, concentration, and financialisation of landlording—paradoxically intensify both the atomisation of the tenant experience and the potential for organised tenants to exercise structural power. This potential collective power, however, is not self‐actualising. Building on two years of participatory action research and one year of operational data from the Ca…
Gentrification and State Violence
In this conversation, Andrew Szeto and Terra Graziani share more about their coedited chapter, “Gentrification & State Violence,” one of seven chapters comprising the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project’s 2021 atlas, Counterpoints: A San Francisco Bay Area Atlas of Displacement and Resistance published by PM Press. Here Erin McElroy (also a Counterpoints editor) asks them how they conceptualize the interconnectedness of gentrification and state violenc…

We situate the contemporary reanimation of public nuisance law in the socio‐spatial historie…
