Inside America’s Coming Eviction Crisis During Coronavirus | NowThis

If you can’t pay the rent you are only costing the landlords money. Many landlords are just people who saved to buy a second house the rent for money so them not having money coming in has a big effect

[@matthewtrauger4289]

If people would pay their rent there would be no problem. No reason at all why it couldn't be paid. People were literally getting more money from unemployment than they were working. The problem is the government stopped evictions so people decided not to pay because they cant be evicted. It's exactly what the government does. They create the problem, then blame someone else

The government needs to make regulations about houses being bought to be turned into rental homes so there’s more houses for people to purchase to own for themselves-if more homes were available for purchase for actual homes, the housing price bubble would shrink, more people could afford their own properties, and a lot less people would be booted onto the streets by merciless landlords

[@almacoles5501]

The government cannot force people to turn their properties into rental homes. That's a violation of the United States Constitutional Laws. The only way that can occur is if the government compensates (using US Taxpayer dollars) the private property owner for taking control of their private property for public purposes. Private Property Owners are protected by Constitutional Rights so that if you decide to buy a house, the government can't come in and control your property without your permission and consent.

[@jameswei4583]

Unfortunately, homeownership is not for everyone. Landlords provide necessary (whether you like it or not) products (rental units) for renters to consume. Not everyone has the financial capacity and/or discipline to deal with what is essentially a large leveraged position in real estate. The problem becomes worse if they have to use something like FHA financing, which increases the leverage even further. You think landlords are contributing nothing while making money off of renters? No! Landlords are shielding renters from the risks (and costs) inherent in the real estate market in exchange for a profit. Plenty of articles suggest that average Americans have very little set aside for emergency expenses. How do you expect them to deal with costly repairs and/or other risks that come with homeownership? "They will be booted onto the streets by merciless banks..."

If their properties get foreclosed on those renters are still going to be evicted. By the way, what about the people who received $600 per week extra for unemployment? What did they do with the money. A lot of them gave their landlords the middle finger. Therefore, now the courts are looking into finding out who got that money and if they did and screwed their landlords over, they WILL be evicted. Plus people need to learn how to budget, save and invest.

[@idilali7398]

omg 12 bucks an hour?! that's the lowest min wage for a province in Canada.

[@R_A_3000]

The Federal minimum wage in the U.S. is 7.25. So that alone tells you how things are for some people. And yes there are jobs that pay that much besides fast-food places.

[@bonniewatson178]

After seeing what has been going I wouldn’t rent to anyone, people act as if the landlord don’t have to pay the property taxes, and up keep. I’m talking about decent landlords and if people hate landlords so much, then they need to buy their own homes because you can’t live anywhere for free.

[@jimziemer474]

I’m not a landlord and never will be one after witnessing this. I don’t want the government trying to tell me I can’t evict a non-paying tenant. Worse yet, tenants think they should be permitted to stay for free.

Landlords can't afford to let people live for free when landlords have bills to pay

A landlord is like an investor, not a charity. They are entitled to get a return on their investment.

I'm European so that's what I thought too. Just go and take your money and your property back. What was stolen from the working class for decades now. Looting? Trespassing? I'm sorry but the only looters are on Wall Street. I don't know why you always talk about rich people paying their fair share or worse: they should contribute more. Like they should have a kind heart or be charitable. It's about them giving back what they stole.

[@goddesst]

There's plenty of people that didn't receive it because of how backed up things were or becsuse of errors that took a long time to get fixed. Or maybe they simply didn't know they can get unemployment.

Most landlords are small businesses as well, they still have to pay mortgages, maintain their buildings and pay taxes. They are not being paid and have to pay out of pocket for all the buildings expenses, many are losing their rentals and their houses as well. All these people refusing to pay rent and not saving cash up they got from th government, do they realize they still owe the rent? That when the moratorium on evictions expire they will have to pay all the rent they own or be evicted? There may be millions tossed out into the streets in the next few weeks

[@TL49ERMAGIC23]

I'm honestly the most compassionate person you'll ever meet but I don't see how renters feel they should have special privileges to live rent free. Should homeowners who lost their jobs be able to skip paying mortgages too?

[@almacoles5501]

Sure it does. People are not dropping dead left and right when we step out the door so there doesn't appear to be a pandemic. But when people can't pay rent because dumb Governors and Mayors forced everyone to lose their business and their jobs, you gotta have non-paying occupants evicted to honor and comply with the Rental Contract Agreement during a time where reality doesn't appear to be a pandemic. Let the dumb Governors and Mayors compensate everyone's Rent cost for causing everyone to lose their job and their income.

This sucks man, especially if you dont got papers here, i was jus tryna help out a homeboy from highschool w a place but w a lil record he was denied for residency or whatever smh, he has gone about 17 months without paying light and almost a year of not paying rent.. i was able to get assistance and stuff but my state failed a bunch of ppl now i gotta end my apartment, what a TOUGH life its been the last 2years.. dealing w psoriasis too has made life unbearable, but i cant keep accumulating debt and stuff he hasny be able to pay me back from borrowing from fam, so sad man but same time he was a lil manipulative because of his situation, but it is what it is ..

[@heavenly1539]

Well what happens when your paying rent and the landlord raises the rent but as never and won't fix anything on the building or inside of your unit and when you confront the landlord about fixing things he point blank tell you to GET OUT?.. Where's the justice for the paying people from these types of property owners?.

[@YoniNadi]

If the landlords were to sell their rental properties do you think that the delinquent tenants would be allowed to remain in their apartments?

[@FindingMyself90]

The delinquent tenants that lost their job or can't work bc of testing positive?

No! People fail to realize that the contract with the old owners is null and voided with the new owners.

[@aeijae80]

I got a good deal on a house because there were tenants in it accompanied with about 50k in repairs to get it up to speed. The tenants don't want to move and guess who's gonna get stuck paying for a house that I'm not living in? Me. And guess who doesn't have a place to live? Me. So looks like I'll be looking forward to sleeping in my car while my tenant sleeps in a bedroom that I'm paying for. And compound that with a moratorium that prevents evictions, it could be a while before my tenant finally leaves, running the risk of leaving the house in even worse condition, all the while I'm paying a tenant who trashed my house so he can move out. Sounds fair.
