Shouldn't there be a law where landlords can't evict you for non-payment for like six months if you can't afford it? Most landlords are really rich, so it would just be like a tax on the wealthy. Rent should be like bankruptcy, you should be able to just file some papers and then you don't have to pay, you just wipe the slate clean and start fresh.
Also why should landlords be allowed to discriminate against you if you don't work? Where my money comes from is no concerns of theirs so long as they get paid. Credit checks are unfair. Not everyone has great credit and so many places won't rent if your credit isn't good.
Why on EARTH should there be such a law (they can go 6 mos. w/o paying?) and who says landlords are rich?? (I realize this is an old thread revived, but that that is a ridiculous point to make).

So you basically want a law that will force a landlord to support a deadbeat tenant???
Buy a house! Then when you get behind they don't even try to foreclose till you are 6 months behind. Heck they even offer to lower your payment!
