<p style="font-size: larger"><strong>This disaster is going to daisy chain into a huge number of legal issues that are going to show up over a period of days, weeks and months. Right now there are going to be many landlord-tenant issues: people who don&#8217;t think they should give back the security deposit for flooded properties. There will be people who will try to kick out their tenants because their brother-in-law needs some place to stay. There&#8217;s going to be a severe shortage of rental space in the community.&#8221;</strong></p>
