The Legal Aid Society released an online video ad campaign Thursday highlighting a case of tenants facing eviction from their Bronx apartment as part of its push for including “Good Cause” eviction protections in the final state budget due in just two days, April 1.

Titled “A Good Cause,” the video was first shared with amNewYork Metro and features Thomas Ellis, who — along with his wife and eight children — is currently facing eviction from his apartment in the Van Nest section of the Bronx. Advocates say the case clearly exemplifies the need for Good Cause.
