Looming debt crisis for renters & landlords on City Inside/Out

[@jeretso]

Home prices are way up. Building materials are scarce. Taxes are going up. Tenants behind a years rent may never catch up. Landlords have to raise rent to pay for the loss of revenue. Moratorium has created a huge bottleneck. Renters who can pay are unable to move in because non payers are staying in units for free. Would you force doctors to heal for free for a year? Force lawyers to defend for free for a year. What do you call a government that forces someone to provide services for free for a year?

[@TheTeganOsmondChannel]

are a lot of landlords dealing with tenants who have refused to pay for a year?? I know of one who went crazy because his tenant was behind 1 week

[@jeretso]

@@TheTeganOsmondChannel Most have been able to work with their tenants. But there are stories of owners blockaded, fined, vandalized, foreclosed and even attacked. Supreme Court said federal moratorium is illegal but it took them a year to decide. Some localities still have moratorium in place so including backlog could be 2 years before eviction case is heard by a judge. You have to search local news yourself because national media will focus on one side. Tenants outnumber landlords so many localities are passing rent controls and other restrictions.

[@TheTeganOsmondChannel]

@@jeretso Thank you. It seems like there is extreme on both sides. Complete freeloaders who refuse to pay rent for an entire year, yet on the other hand landlords literally harassing and threatening people over being 1 week late due to circumstances beyond their control. I've never faced an eviction, so I'm unsure how this all works

[@joeo7257]

Homelessness will skyrocket when tenants don't qualify to rent. My tenants have jobs, but don't pay! They drive nicer cars, have bigger TVs, and nicer phones than I do. They are the ones who can't come up with $400 in an emergency. If I'm 'nice" and allow them to get behind on rent, they move away rather than pay me back. Expect Landlord revenge!

They deserve to have happen to them what will: expulsion. The government should have subsidized the landlords first like HUD housing or section 8. Then the tenant could have kept what was left. But no, they were trying to boost the economy with spending. They didn't care about the landlord. Also those that played themselves thinking they played the landlord ruined their credit and will no longer be able to rent much of anything if at all.

that's probably a high cost of living area. But even where I live which is a relatively lower cost of living area rentals for a single family house usually run from between 1200 and $2,000 a month depending on the size of the house. So a family who gets even just 6 months behind on $1,500 well that's $9,000. If they have $9,000 or the ability to save that up in a reasonable amount of time these people would have bought their own house. These landlords are never going to see that money again which is why they are so frustrated understandably

[@jeretso]

Why move to a cheaper unit when the government lets you stay for free? The government has created a growing bottleneck and their solution is to keep the bottle closed until the next election. The government has basically shutdown the rental pipeline so new families cannot find a place to move, lines for prospective properties will grow and prices will go up.

Renters are going to be screwed once this finally hits the fan. In my neighborhood of about 200 houses there were at least 15 rental properties. Of those 15 I believe about 10 of them have sold and most of them have sold to private individuals not people looking to rent these houses out. And this is happening all over. The houses that are being sold to people trying to rent the houses out are not being so demand pop landlords. They are being sold to big corporations. but when you go to rent and maybe you're a little under the qualifications or maybe you have an eviction on your record it's the mom and pop landlords who are more likely to accept that. The corporations usually have strict policies and they won't even look at you. Renters who have paid the rent all this time are going to be sitting pretty but those who haven't are going to be screwed

Exactly! Most people are too ignorant to realize this.

[@juliecastillo914]

Depending on where you live good tenants might not be so bad off. no one is going to want to rent to somebody with an eviction on their record and that's going to be a lot of people. So if you paid rent it's probably going to be easier to get a rental. The only caveat to that is there will be less rentals. Where I live a lot of rental houses are being sold and while some of them are being sold to rental companies a lot of them are being sold to private people who are going to use those homes to live in rather than rent out.

More homes on the market would actually help more homebuyers trying to buy a home. Rental assistance should have been passed by the end of last summer. This way landlords would have had the rent money by early this year. Kicking the can down the road or not thinking ahead just causes more problems. The changing economy over the last many decades forces many people to get into the rental market to give themselves a future & taking away homes that could have been purchased by people as their primary residence.

Covid will never go away. We have had Corona viruses in the past and will continue. It is a perfectly executed plan to brainwash people.

I don't know how anyone ever thought any of this was a good idea. I was fortunate to be rid of my tenants early in the plandemic. As soon as they got word about the eviction moratorium they ditched their jobs in exchange for approx. $1,000 / week, per person from unemployment., which continued for much of the pandeminc. That's $8,000 / month for 2 people, more money than they ever made working, plus the 3 or 4 stimulous payments. And living Rent-Free. Haha! We don't have to pay you a dime of rent and you can't kick us out. Haha! Let's say their rent is $1,500 / month , and now they owe 15 months back-rent, thanks to the moratorium. That's $22,500.00. Typical renters have never even seen that much money at one time, nor will they ever, as any landlord or property manager knows. That's why they're Renters. You NEVER let them get behind more than 1 month because thats just pretty much the most money they'll ever have to their name at one time. If you "work with them" beyond that, you're a fool . . . As was whoever came up with the moratori why they're um idea and didn't have the foresight to think about what's gonna happen when the moratorium ends and the other shoe drops. Or alternatively, its part of the plan to eliminate the middle class, the mom & pop landlords along with all the the small business owners that went under (and will never open again) because the economy was destroyed by the plandemic, in large part by imcentivising working renters to ditch their jobs, not pay rent & make more money on unemployment & stimulous payments then they ever dreamed of.
