“There are a lot of people trapped in their own prison, with no way out, for an indefinite amount of time. How many lives will the pandemic claim?”
“I appealed to their humanity. At first I was like, how? How can you? How can you do this? I’ve never caused trouble. I’ve been a good tenant for two years. The second the eviction ban lifts they put the notice on my door. I said: ‘Look, I’m working. I can start to pay this off. Please understand that this is a global pandemic and work with me. Please, please have some compassion,’” Ty said. “They informed me that it was really out of their hands.
Ty’s last night in his one-bedroom, one-bath apartment, a unit in a cookie-cutter community near the interstate with a tennis court, a clubhouse, and pools, was Aug. 17. On the afternoon of Tuesday, Aug. 18, two officers from the constable's office and the building’s maintenance worker came to change the locks on his door. They only gave him time to grab a few essentials — and his cats.
Ty, who grew up in Wisconsin with parents with alcoholism, said even if he could afford to move home, going back was not an option. “It would have killed me,” he said. Without any other outlet for his anger, he tweeted about his eviction, which caught the attention of a few people whom he had coached in high school football long ago. They reached out to Ty and some other former players and quickly collected the $1,100 he needed to retrieve the rest of his belongings.
