In my case at the time it was just an effect of being poor. At least one scenario I had a legal case, but I couldn't afford the costs to bring it forth and it would cost more in legal fees than the case was worth. I simply didn't have the time or resources, especially since I had to focus on moving and getting security deposits together so as to not be homeless.
The protections are there, they just are not for certain economic classes since there's an exploitable time window to operate within.
