A landlord in upstate New York is living out of a car with her daughter after being unable to collect rent from tenants in three properties she owns due to eviction moratoriums.
"I don't understand how they can give my private property to somebody to live for free. I bought that property. I fixed it up with my blood, sweat and tears," Brandie LaCasse, a single mother and Air Force veteran, told CBS News.
Now, LaCasse is living out of a car with her daughter, as well as staying with friends when she is able.
LaCasse said she missed out on receiving $23,000 in rent over nearly a year because of federal and state eviction moratoriums that were put in place due to the pandemic. She explained to the outlet that she told the tenants they had to move out so she could move in, but they instead stopped paying rent, yet remained in the homes.
"I've cried many nights, like thinking, 'Where's my money?'" she said.
One of LaCasse’s tenants, Carla McArthur, said she’s unable to pay rent due to childcare costs and her family suffering from the virus during the pandemic.
"I feel bad that I have not been able to pay her," McArthur said. "We've gone from two incomes. I had COVID-19 twice. My kids all have had it once. My husband's had it once. We've been affected by the virus."
McArthur, however, was approved for rent relief in New York, while LaCasse has still not received any funds.
That's not the landlord's problem, what did she do with her stimulus checks?
Thank goodness there is some sanity left in the US. It is a shame that it took the Supreme Court to stop the ridiculous government overreach of private property rights and legal contracts.

ha --- put your masks on; put your gloves on; go to work. That would have been sanity. What we got was told to go home you can not earn a living to put food on your table, people are dying. You're damn straight their dying.
The government doesn't fix problems, they cause 'em. What you see here is the end result.
People should have kept working; business stayed in business --- then this would not have happened in the first place for people to be complaining about other people over. Sanity left in the u.s.? Not that I've seen, not one bit of it left. When the government can get you to turn on each other --- that's just wrong.

"LaCasse said she missed out on receiving $23,000 in rent over nearly a year because of federal and state eviction moratoriums that were put in place due to the pandemic."
On three properties, what's wrong with that picture? It's missing a zero or three.
That's cute that you think it actually will work out like that. A judgment against a deadbeat is a worthless piece of paper.
Guess what? The tenant won't be renting anywhere with unpaid rent in their history, program or no program. Landlords use more than just civil judgments on credit reports in evaluating applications.
Maybe this is why Biden is trying to eliminate credit scores.

Comes out to roughly $650 a month per property. Depending on the area, that's within reason.

All good, I did the same at first before I gave it some thought.

650x12=7,800.00
7,800x3=23,400
