Topline: A Massachusetts man who had already been evicted from 12 apartments for refusing to pay rent received $23,000 in taxpayer-funded rental assistance in 2024, according to reporting from NBC10 Boston.

The outcome was incredibly predictable: the man and his wife skipped out on rent once again and fended off an eviction by slow-walking the court proceedings. They finally left their apartment on Nov. 19 of this year, leaving a hole in the wall and dirty dishes all over the floor, NBC reported.
