It’s irrelevant whether the renters have new cars or not - the crux is that the Government has mandated that the rent that people pay now does not have to be paid because of hardship - they have only provided for one side of the equation- the new hardship created by this mandate on the landlords is simply not addressed. The people who depend on the rent to pay for the home being used by the renters and to live are now in additional hardship created by a poorly conceived and unfunded government mandate masquerading as humanitarianism. This is why government needs more leaders who are not only compassionate but have business sense as well

@@butch420cassidy4 How can they not do that? The cost of doing business has gone up exponentially for them, and their risk is out of sight. To avoid skyrocketing rents, the government would have to do two things: guarantee the landlord a fair return on his/her property, and remove the risk of default by the renter, i.e., pick up the tab for deadbeats. Sadly, this is unlikely to happen until all rental properties are gobbled up by hedge funds, screwing small landlords. Then, of course, government will kow-tow to big business.

Other businesses actually provide a service that requires work. Sure you have to be able to afford a house but a lot of these people were able to buy houses decades ago with lower costs. If you look at economic graphs that not only show inflation of cost and wages, but also of other expenses, you see a frightening trend that shows housing values have ballooned, educational costs, cost on goods, everything has increased, a few have increased similar to inflation but income has stagnated to the point where the younger generations can't afford anything. Someone who bought a house in the 70's or 80's and now has a second home and rents out one of them has no sympathy from people who are working and trying to be able to afford to save and work and not pay 60-70% of their income on rent. There were programs in the 30's to 60's where white people were able to buy homes for pennies on the dollar that were affordable or even zero down payment for GIs but todays economy and government policies have destroyed all notion of being able to be able to afford anything.

Ask the laborers to only work on the project two days out of the week and for a few hours at a time. The noise, the dust, the amount of foot traffic in the house will drive anyone mad and will force them to start looking for a freeway underpass to call home.

It serves all those greedy landlords right for trying to provide housing in pursuit of their own selfish financial gain. Or anyone that tries to profit from someone else really. Anyone participating in the totally unfair and evil capitalist system deserves to have all their wealth completly stripped away by government and given to someone else deemed more deserving. It's all good even if government causes everyone to be equally broke.

A judgment creates a lien but those people own nothing and will never pay unless they want to buy a home someday. Unlikely

"If a creditor gets a judgment against you and the debt is dischargeable in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, filing for bankruptcy will wipe out a creditor's ability to collect. Judgments, however, can create a lien on your property. And liens don't go away in bankruptcy automatically. So it’s possible to wipe out a judgment in bankruptcy and remain obligated to pay the lien."

I'm lost my job but when we all got an extra $600 a week in unemployment I took all the extra money and paid as far ahead as I could. During the pandemic and being unemployed I've actually been at least two weeks ahead the whole time because we've been given extra unemployment, stimulus, money for food etc. During the time we weren't receiving extra unemployment I wasn't able to get any rental assistance, because I wasn't behind yet. How the hell could anyone have been behind in August? People were making more money on unemployment then when they were working. So yet again all of the govt help goes to the lazy, the irresponsible, and the pieces of crap. Without the extra unemployment, I only make 350 more than what my rent is, and because I have income I don't qualify for ebt even though I have a child. Its just frustrating that people like this are the ones that getnprotected and get all the government help. Yet people like me who have worked out entire lives and make responsible choices, are the ones that get the shaft.

Thats just it. They were told they didnt have to pay rent so they didnt. Because of this where they dont have to pay rent all this time (due to the government laws), once they have to start paying rent they will be so far behind that they cannot catch up. They should be paying ehat they can each week, and using the stimulus to catch up what they can. So when its all said and done landlords will be taking tenants to court. Tenants wont be able to pay and will get evicted. There will be no place wanting to help them and those that mightve will be out of funds and unable to help so many. Families will have no place to go, there wont be enough places to house them. Landlords will look at the evictions records and not want those people as tenants because they will worry they will be screwed again or like those peoples past landlords. Who's fault will this be? People will blame the president of course, tho the past and present presidents are both partly to blame the tenants themselves are to blame. They should've known better then to not pay at all... if you can pay you should. If you cant pay then you should pay as much as possible and do what you can to earn pay so you can pay, use those stimulus checks to pay on rent too. #thinkahead #besmart #dontscrewyourlandlordover #itcomesfullcircle

@@tammy7794 exactly!! Why would people not pay their rent if they have money to! And then we have the people that haven't worked in years complaining that they cant pay rent because of covid..... well what did they do before covid? If you haven't held down a job in years, then you weren't affected by covid, you were affected by being lazy and irresponsible. These are the people sucking the system dry and the people that are being responsible and have truly been affected by covid aren't able to get any help because of the lazy irresponsible people. Just pissed me off that I got denied for rental assistance because I wasn't yet behind. Well no I wasn't behind because I was getting $600 a week in extra unemployment, how could I be behind? I get punished for being responsible and paying my rent. I was asking for help before I got behind, because after the extra unemployment stopped, I knew I was going to have a very hard time paying Rent on basic unemployment. So all the money given to my state for rental assistance went,$ to all the people that decided to not pay rent even though they had the money to . How does that make sense? If you were unemployment and weren't getting unemployment during the pandemic then that means you were probably unemployed and probably weren't getting unemployment before the pandemic, which in turn means you weren't directly affected by the pandemic and are lazy and just have been not working and sucking off the system your whole life (and of course this isn't the case for everyone in that situation, I'm just talking about the ones that just never work and always rely on being bailed out by welfare) so how did they pay their bills before the pandemic? Why are they all of a sudden not able to pay their bills? Its just frustrating. The system should be designed to help the people that are willing and trying to help themselves that have fallen on hard times. Instead it seems to help more of the people that live their entire lives not working when they are able to, continue to have many kids that they can't afford, spend their money on nice cars and shoes and designer clothing, and the people that choose to just not pay their bills even though they can. In my early 20s I was a asst store manager for walmart and Every so often when we got busy I'd jump on a register to help get lines down and I can't tell you how often I would see people coming in paying for their food with ebt and then pulling out huge stacks of cash to pay for the rest of their items. They would be wearing designer clothes. Carrying designer bags, expensive name brand shoes, lots of jewelry etc while buying steak and lobster and shrimp for themselves and then a stack of 20 of those $1 frozen kids meals for their kids. It used to piss me off so bad. I'm here working a minimum of 65 hours a week on a crap salary just to afford the basics in life. I worked over 100 hours a week for 4 months straight (on a salary) setting up a new store . Long rant but it is so frustrating.
