According to real estate brokerage Douglas Elliman, the median monthly rent in Manhattan recently topped $4,000. With the cost of housing skyrocketing and countless renters scrambling for affordable options, we took the opportunity to speak with Matthew Main about the origins of the landlord-tenant relationship and his proposal for a total prohibition on “self-help” evictions, or evictions without judicial process. Main's Article, which will be published in Issue 6 of Volume 43, focuses especially on a class of residential occupants who have not signed a lease and, therefore, do not fall into the legally protected category of “tenant.” Since the occupant does not have a protected possessory interest in the residence, the landowner does not have to take the occupant to court to affect an eviction. As a result, a nontenant occupant is at risk of being put out on the street for any reason. Tune in to learn why Main believes a total ban on self-help evictions is necessary to stem the rising tide of homelessness in New York and across the country.

Professor Corn's Article addresses the problem of illegal firearm possession and proposes the use of Illegal Firearm Checkpoints (IFCPs), via the “special needs” exception to the Fourth Amendment. Tune in to the latest episode of Pod Curiam to learn how preemption and IFCPs might operate in tandem to curb gun violence in the U.S.
