....here's the over the top....slime ball....twist to it that most people are missing
They didn't give them rent free....what they did was give them a moratorium on paying rent
..in other words....they still owe that back rent....their rent wasn't excused
Not a one of them will pay it...or even be able to pay it
but by doing it that way....they left the landlords holding the bill...the landlords still have to pay all their expenses...upkeep...all of it...because the tenants still owe that money.....and the landlords could not evict them
At least in CA, they are trying to make landlords whole again by paying the backrent.
I agree! Landlords have mortgages, taxes, maintenance, repairs, utilities, and wear and tear on their properties! Biden did something right, for a change!! NO student loan forgiveness either! Many who borrowed have well paying professions and jobs and should pay off their student debt. Many partied instead of studying and flunked out! I'm okay with reducing their interest rates, but pay what you owe people!
I am delighted the eviction moratorium is going away. Too many took advantage of it to slack off from their responsibilities.
I am also looking forward to the $300 extra a week UI to couch surf going away in about 5 weeks.
Those were the 2 biggest mistakes made during the pandemic.
The next biggest mistake is a rent deferral should have had a registry attached through the IRS, with both tenant and landlord needing to sign and show amount owed, and ALL Stimulus checks should have been seized for renters owing money and applied towards back rent as a garnishment. It should have been paid directly to the landlord they owed money to.
Not a Biden fan, but I've got no problem with this.
You can't continue to live rent-free forever.
But that’s the irony. The lockdowns were unnecessary to begin with. All Americans should’ve been permitted to work at their own choice.
Now we have a situation where covid is not over, lockdowns are not over, and the extension has expired. A situation that was entirely avoidable. Tenants still owe all that rent back, which we know won’t be paid.
Any non-liberal person in March of 2020 could’ve told you covid wasn’t going to end in 18 months, so there was no point for the lockdowns that forced the eviction memorandum.
About the only thing Biden has done right, in addition to getting us out of Afghanistan. Most of these millions want a free ride! Enough already!
Give credit only when due. Biden did not want the rent moratorium to end and, although a little ahead, the Afghanistan withdrawal was already scheduled
I went to Zillow looking at homes in the northeast.. put in an area.. all pre-forclosures came up.. it is much worse than we know. It could be another 2008 with foreclosures .
I bet rents will skyrocket too. Lots of money was lost during this time that needed to go to mortgages, taxes, and repairs. They’ll need to make up for that somewhere and at the same time save for the next government intrusion.
Time to flush the terlit and kick em out. 90% of my hood is renters.
