Meanwhile before the pandemic these same people wanted to be able to live off these no-skill jobs. The local McDonald's is paying $14 per hour with a $1000 sign-on bonus. The problem is for almost two years the government incentivized people to stay home. Before, the only way to get unemployment is if you were laid off or fired due to no fault of your own. Then, when the pandemic started all you had to do was tell the unemployment office that you can't work because of health concerns, and you were literally handed $1000 a week (included extra "assistance" money). Why go to work when you can get $1000 a week and you don't even have to worry about paying rent (for the time being)?

[@dynagaming2693]

@@TheLazyass111 Consider the fact that not every landlord is a huge company with multiple properties. My landlord is an old retired couple who bought the property over 10 years ago. I've lived here for 7 of those 10 years. I live in a community that has gotten safer and been cleaned up, when I moved in it wasn't great. HOWEVER, the last time rent had been raised was 2 years ago, and that's because the tax rate on the property went up. My landlord even told me when the pandemic started that if I were laid off or had trouble making the rent, to call him and we could make arrangements. I was laid off during the height of the pandemic for about a month, but I still continued to fully pay my rent because I had the money to do so. Would I have loved to taken my unemployment (including the extra $600 in "assistance" the government was handing out) and spent it on things I wanted? Sure, who wouldn't. But I knew that sooner or later I'd have to pay back whatever I couldn't pay during the eviction moratorium so I decided to just continue paying as usual to prevent any future problems. While I agree there are some scummy landlords / corporations who exploit people (especially in major cities), it's not the case for most properties outside of big cities. When you rent a property, you are agreeing to pay a certain amount each month for a predetermined period of time (lease). If you refuse to abide by your agreement, you can be evicted. You AGREED to this. This is why people need to read the fine print. I'd never sign an agreement which stipulates that rent can be raised without warning or another signing of a lease. I do not feel bad for people who agree to something, then take advantage of a bad situation to avoid having to pay their bills. I understand that people can be laid off, as I was, and that times can be tough. But only a true idiot would think you'd be able to live almost a year rent-free and not have to pay any of that money back, and continue to live in the same place. And then these people have the nerve to rail on about how bad landlords are, even though their kids have to eat too.

I didn't know how bad eviction was or that it lasted forever or that I couldn't rent anymore.. they wanted the money in full n which was almost 1500 dollars I have three children. They're father was deported when they were young. My mom is broke and in disability and she's sick and lives an hour away.

I saw one last time it was not real close to him that I did go to say bye I drove home there was a 3 day notice on my door. Is the next day or the day after I know it was packing my car started messing up and needed a 3500 hydrolic clutch 2 days later Court I'm not sure exactly what was going on I knew that my car wasn't going to work. Needless to say I believe I was still sick I missed court in the last day packing up my stuff was my dad's funeral I had to make a decision if I was going to go to his funeral and make the rest of my family who I didn't like happy or to make sure I got me and my kids stuff everything that we needed out of there by myself. The funeral was an hour away I knew my car wouldn't make it and I had to stay and keep packing and I didn't have long. Over a years went by I'm paying over $3,000 a month to stay in hotels because no one will rent to me no matter how much money I have. Effing I own is in storage and I got a call from them last week cuz I had gotten behind. .. things are really tough now I'm so depressed I did end up getting my car fixed and I slept there sometimes but lately it's too cold and now there's b something else wrong with it. I don't know where I'm going to go from here or what's going to happen but God put it on my heart to this. I never told anyone this story and as I'm typing it in I realize yes some of this is my fault and that's what I get for being naive..I don't feel sorry for myself because tonight I'm ok in a warm hotel room but there are some who will freeze to death and b hungry.

"Landlords need to eat too" is one of the worst talking point I've heard in a long time. As a landlord myself (I live in Canada and only have the 1 tenant), I know firsthand that putting an appartment on rental is nothing more than an investment (and a low-yielding one too). The thing is, most investments aren't risk-free, whereas most landlords seem to think the opposite and that the gov't should guarantee their investments through the legal system. I don't know of any other income class where if you don't get your returns you get to call the cops to get it. If you absolutely need the income stream that's coming straight from your tenant's pocket to pay all of your bills, than I'm afraid you've made yourself exposed to a level of risk that's too high.

I love how the virus knows to only run into the plastic and not right through the huge holes in the plastic where papers are passed back and forth.

True that virus isn’t that smart. It sees the holes and possibility of maybe going over the top of the glass and is like nah I’ll just slam into it here and disappear

Imagine you buy a piece of property, rent it out to someone, and rely on that income to pay your bills, but you have people living in your property that won't pay you. What do you expect to happen! If I don't pay my rent I expect to be evicted

[@LaFonteCheVi]

The fundamental problem is that rent prices are artificially inflated by landlords.

[@Joel-wx7zk]

@@LaFonteCheVi It's regulated by the market, they charge just enough to pay taxes and other fees along with any mortgage payment. No one is renting out a $1k apartment in an area where the average rent is half. If someone is willing to pay more for said apartment, then naturally they'll rent to the highest bidder like it's happening in NYC, where renters our outbidding one another for existing apartments

Half of the US population cant cover a 500 dollar emergency expense, and 40 million jobs were lost when the pandemic hit, and your solution is "just pay rent lol"

[@armandoruiz8758]

Will they receive tons of money but instead they went and bought things like no tomorrow instead of paying for their bills. No matter what bills come first that includes rent, food and utilities but people think that everything is free.

[@gage51desoto]

I feel bad for people who could not pay rent because of the pandemic but renters forget that the landlord has monthly bills for their properties too. If the landlord couldn’t pay the taxes and mortgage the bank would foreclose. There was zero protection for landlords.

[@bridget5180]

This is so horrible. Landlords in general are profit hungry. I hope these folks get help ASAP.

[@DanLee8884]

This is all such a gray area. I have been both a renter and landlord. I have been a renter living paycheck to paycheck and my family lost our business and home in the past. I wouldnt wish that on my enemies. So financial crisis is nothing new to me. More recently, I had renters. We checked in with them early to see if there is anything we can do if something came up for them. My wife and I believe in doing what we can for others. People helped my family in crisis, I wanted to pass it on. Luckily they were doing okay, in fact, they moved to find a bigger place. With that said, as a renter, I could see how scary it is to be evicted and have it affect ur credit terribly when it is not ur fault. Hardwork and honesty doesnt always pay. Also, most people are willing to make it up later if possible. At the same time, as a landlord, there would be just no way I would have been able to keep up 2 mortgages. Sure we could share the burden but that seem unfair although much more of a community idea. This reminds me of a class from Kellogg business school I took in negotiations. Both parties could make arrangements that benefit both while also avoiding having to waste money on going to court...

Be a grown up and pay your rent. Stop crying and stop relying on the government. I don’t want to hear y’all can’t find jobs, everybody and their mama hiring right now

[@countryclubbin1016]

The problem here is there is jobs everywhere but they aren't paying what people want so they aren't willing to work those jobs.

[@lindagarcia708]

Seems to be the problem. Gonna have to grow up and realize you don't get everything you want. Work those jobs or be homeless. HUUUUMMMM decisions, decisions.

[@anchorsaweigh9893]

I think it makes sense to forebear maybe 2 or 3 months if you have decent tenant. After that you need to find a job and start paying something. If I don’t pay those mortgages I don’t get any forgiveness. I get foreclosed. It’s actually pretty disgusting how mentally weak so many people have become. Guess we need those people in our society though....

It would be one thing if a tenant paid what they could n worked with the homeowner, but not paying a dime and squatting for 6+months is unfair to the homeowner... Why should I work hard and pay my rent every month while others go half a year living for free?

It's your responsibility as a adult to make sure the rent is paid and I don't even rent and I know that.

[@ryansalyinglion3683]

Fed passed money to pay these backed up payments to landlords and it needs to go through. You can't kick people out of a job tell them to stay home and say don't worry about your rent for a year and a half then say hahaha now figure it out. Gov needs to go all the way here follow through on what they enacted. Slowing the spread was important but you really fucked the middle class here and you need to fix it.
