A proposal Topeka’s mayor and city council will consider Tuesday would add “the hammer” to city rules regarding retaliatory evictions, says Councilwoman Karen Hiller. The measure would allow for landlords to be fined and/or jailed for committing acts of retaliation against tenants in good standing who are acting within their legal rights. “We’ve got to protect those folks,” Topeka City Councilman Spencer Duncan said at a June 21 meeting of the council’s public health and safety committee.
