本研究借鉴了71个深入，半结构化的采访，业主和物业经理在费城，宾夕法尼亚州。我们发现，与驱逐相关的感知负担往往使驱逐不太可取的小规模房东比找到方法与租户合作，让他们在自己的家园，包括制定付款计划，以帮助租户赶上欠租，调整租金，接受服务代替租金，并协助转介到住房和社会服务计划。一些房东采用了一种支付租户腾空的技术，这种做法被称为现金换钥匙，这是一种非正式的，不记录在案的驱逐。我们的研究结果表明，不登记的驱逐比官方驱逐数据中测量的要普遍得多;因此，居民流离失所的普遍程度比以前记录的要严重。
This study draws on 71 indepth, semistructured interviews with landlords and property managers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We find that the perceived burdens associated with evictions often make evictions less desirable for small-scale landlords than finding ways to work with tenants to keep them in their homes, including developing payment plans to help tenants catch up on back rent, adjusting rental rates, accepting services in lieu of rent, and aiding in referrals to housing and social service programs. Some landlords employ a technique of paying tenants to vacate, a practice referred to as cash for keys, which is an informal, off-the-books eviction. Our findings suggest that off-the-books evictions are far more prevalent than has been measured in official eviction data; therefore, the prevalence of residential displacement is more severe than previously documented.
