A new startup is recruiting gig workers to help landlords evict people from their homes, calling it the fastest-growing moneymaking gig because of COVID-19
A new startup is recruiting gig workers to help landlords evict people who can't afford to pay rent during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Civvl, which Motherboard described as "Uber, but for evicting people," has posted job listings across the US that encourage gig workers to join the app and work as eviction crew members.
Civvl notes that landlords are looking to hire workers to evict tenants who can't afford to pay rent, advertising the gig as the "FASTEST GROWING MONEY MAKING GIG DUE TO COVID-19."
The CDC is imposing a moratorium on all evictions across the US, but Civvl's terms appear to pass on responsibility to landlords to ensure that evictions carried out through the startup are legal.
