If the woman was 50 or 60 years old this would not make news. Landlord wants his rental back so his daughter can move in. Apparently he is not raising the rent although, and as the article states, he can because single family properties do not fall into the same category as multi units do.

But the tenant is 100 years old and has lived there for 40 years. Is it ethics that are in question or emotion? Is it unethical to treat anyone 100 years old the same and legal way you can treat someone half that age?

I'm sure there is a reasonable solution to this situation. I can think of a few.

(edit — more) In the same issue of todays LATimes there is an article that tells of huge rent increases up in Mountain View CA, home of Google. That is simply a matter of supply and demand.

It is also price gouging.
