Eviction moratorium extension frustrates landlords

They are so smart. If the government crashes the rental market then where will the people live. They are using the market rate landlords property as public housing. All of these people need to be issued public housing vouchers and then the government needs to give the landlords a guaranteed one year contract for rent. That’s how public housing works and has worked for the past 20 years. They are disguising this . How long does it take for something to be called what it is? Public housing is housing paid for by the government. So didn’t they say they would cover the rent? That’s public housing! So where’s the money?it’s not private anymore give up the rent money or seize the property and provide fair market value.

Honestly, this would be for the best. If they sell their properties, it will increase housing stock which will lower prices and lower the bar for entry for homeownership. A big contributing factor to home prices being high is the number of single-family homes being held hostage on the rental market.

[@GlenLaConey]

@@jasonwilkins1969 I understand how that MAY benefit investors; however, how would that impact RENTERS? Would it RAISE the bar for renters? Could there be a glut of homes on the market because investors are skittish about investing in rental properties? Either way, the fallout from this catastrophe will have devastating consequences! It's called "The Burning Match Theory". Someone will be left holding it? Who do you think that will be?

[@jasonwilkins1969]

@@GlenLaConey unfortunately, I can't comment on the burning match Theory. I tried looking up information about it but I just keep running into stuff related to matches and Google searching it with the economics does no good either. Honestly, I think it will help renters in the long run. Even if some small landlords go out of business, more homes will be available for purchase which will increase the number of homes actually accessible to the population. As the old saying goes, my bank says I can't afford an $1,800 a month mortgage so I pay $3,000 a month in rent. Many would-be homeowners have difficulty finding affordable homes. They would jump on these home and it would lower the overall number of renter's which would result in fewer rental properties in relation to renters lowering overall costs. At least that's my thinking. What do you think?

They can evict if the tenants cause damage to the property. And when the moratorium ends you can file again and get judgment for the loss of rent. Do not accept the rent relief money as it comes with concessions. You can’t evict the tenant going forward. By accepting the money you, the landlord is agreeing to another eviction moratorium that is self inflicted also in some case you can’t even raise the rent. Get better legal help. Also don’t rent to people who treat you like that. Send them to the streets, file a judgment against them and then raise the rent or sell your property.

@@whathe2100 - KEYWORD: "if" (as in "if" the tenant does not qualify). Yeah, and 'if' the tenant *does* qualify, the landlord gets several thousand dollars. But if the landlord evicts them today, he no longer qualifies to get any of that several thousands of dollars of grant money.

[@whathe2100]

@@gatsbylight4766 There is no grant money for a deadbeat tenant that does not qualify for rent relief. Not today and most likely not in the future. Therefore I would like to evict as soon as possible. I want to cut my losses.

[@gatsbylight4766]

@@whathe2100 - Like I said "IF". *However,* if you have a tenant that was never qualified for the moratorium exemption, you did not have to wait to evict. The moratorium only exempted *qualified* persons _"directly impacted as a result of COVID."_ And yes, I am aware that some areas interpreted the moratorium differently, and that the CDC ruling carried a slightly different effect.

[@hannahbananamarshall]

The moratorium is for non-payment, ONLY! ..unauthorized change of locks and property damage are lease violations that you absolutely can and SHOULD proceed with eviction for!

@@Hoffmanpack I was gambling? How? By owning a 2 family home and providing below market price apartment to a low income family?

[@Hoffmanpack]

@@xxSweetStrangerxx yes , this is called gambeling. Your mortgage should have been that family's house payment. You are "investing" in rental homes and it is pure gambeling, you are hoping to make profit from it and you had risk to consider now accept that you lost that bet and decide, do you cash out or let it roll. My bet is when it starts heading toward underwater territory you will capitulate along with many others. As a 30 yr old there are zero homes avaliable on the market for my family zero thanks to people like you who belive they are offering a service robbing people of equity!

[@xxSweetStrangerxx]

@@Hoffmanpack gaming is what renters do to the system. They use and abuse properties and destroy them and move to a next one. Landlords like myself are the ones struggling with heavy repair and construction costs. We are the ones who pay taxes, insurance, bills, maintenance, registration, etc while your types game the system and enjoy welfare. If there are no houses for you blame the govt. Govt should be responsible to provide free housing so that there is no landlords. It's like saying due to grocery store business you have nothing to eat. You are as ridiculous as it get.

[@Mas3452001]

I'm petty I'd take out a larger insurance policy on my unit & start disconnecting their internet, electricity, and water routinely. From there drag my feet to repair it for weeks, reconnect everything, then within a few days cut it again, and repeat this until they leave. This way I harass them without falling into the trap of not tending to their issues. Sure they may trash the place to get back at me but they'll also likely leave. From there I'd collect my insurance check, and sit on it until I'm ready to renovate after the moratorium ends... PS: Those stim checks should've been going to the landlords this whole time.

[@maxlisk80]

very illegal and can land you in jail

[@royparker7856]

If the power bill is paid by the landlord, don't pay it. If water service is included in rent, don't pay it. do not spend a dime on repairs. Don't pay for any trash service. I'd rather burn it to the ground instead of allowing the deadbeats to stay.

[@Chu6um]

Promises of possible federal help, but what about damages and other costs? The tenants also need to fill out their portion of the paperwork and many don't. The program makes landlords have to rely upon tenants in order to get any aide. Top that with the ongoing extensions that have already been deemed unconstitutional by the SCOTUS, along with the next "excuse" that comes down the pipe for further extending the moratorium and where does that leave landlords? Few might be able to struggle through for a while longer, but eventually mortgage holder are going to foreclose on properties and the "assistance programs" being designed to give aide to tenants won't help people save their investment properties.

Here in pennsylvania,if your low income,they cant touch you. Since its illegal,i dont think they can punish the landlords.

[@dangremaus1164]

Background checks and credit scores. Landlords not doing this are SOL. If they’re desperate to rent to anyone, then the outcome is uncertain. It’s like picking random stocks without doing your due diligence. Hopefully when the moratorium lifts there will be new standards for renting and the deadbeats will become homeless.
