Bill Holston, executive director of the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center, emphasized that the new tracking strategy by ICE will exacerbate intimidation among migrants and increase discrimination against tenants based on race and national origin.

When a landlord or condo association decides to convert rental units into individually owned condos, the process usually begins with a formal notice to tenants. In many cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Washington D.C., local laws give renters the right of first refusal. This can be a major advantage if you've built equity in the form of years of rent and know the space better than anyone else.
