Not a universal principle in Germany though. Today I was awoken by government thugs breaking into my room and telling me that even though I paid my rent, someone else didn't pay theirs so I'm homeless now (collective punishment). If only I was joking.

I refused to leave, so they called more government thugs (i.e. the police) to help them drag me out, but the police told them they have to give people three weeks notice before making them homeless so fuck off.
