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.

Start a never ending construction project on the house. Replace the ceiling drywall to the entire house. 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.

So it’s possible to wipe out a judgment in bankruptcy and remain obligated to pay the lien."

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.

It was NEVER the case that they didn't have to pay rent. Once the moratorium was lifted, every penny of back rent was immediately due. Of course, what renters saved that money?

How this isn't viewed as a taking is beyond belief. Many landlords had also entered into leases or month-to-month rental agreements that permitted them to terminate tenancy with notice but didn't require a cause. In 2019 the just cause rules canceled one part of the contract, and the landlord lost rights and the state put more responsibility on them without compensation. I'm sure there are many landlords who would not have rented their homes under those conditions.

@@ricksgarage8069 it’s definitely largely a rent issue. I’ve scanned rental properties all over this country and it’s getting absurdly expensive.

Who pays the 80%? I don’t get it. Does the State pay him the 80%? Does the moratorium protect the landlord from the bank? Why not just stop paying the mortgage if they can’t foreclose?

Nah, if the tenant can't afford their rent, they sure as hell can't afford lawyers to tie up the court. But getting a judgment and collecting on it are two different things.

[@johnmerlette7936]

I cannot see how the courts wouldn't see this as a public taking, through the interference of government in a tenant/landlord leasing contract. The government is using the eviction moratoriums and power of government to enforce only one side of a contract, forcing landlords to keep non-paying tenants housed while forcing landlords to take massive losses in income. Is the state forgiving taxes owed on these rental properties? Of course not. The state should pay the landlords all rent owed by the protected class they created and then try and collect the billions of dollars in unpaid rent. The government has much better tools to do this than small landlords. Does the government not understand the damage they have done to the rental industry and the housing crisis that is going to result when all of this unwinds? Rents will be triple or more after all this as landlords must factor in the risk of government interference in any rental contract. Many landlords will refuse to rent to certain people who cannot provide background references, proof of income, or have judgements/evictions against them. All renters will be affected adversely and the federal, state and local governments that had a hand in eviction moratoriums are directly to blame.
