The Mothers Facing Eviction During COVID

[@friendo760]

Single dad here raising my daughter solely on my own. It’s super hard with all the stresses in life. I’m a non college graduate Joe scraping by too and doing the single dad thing now for six years. I never asked for or got assistance from anyone. My daughter has recently turned 18 and is college bound. I am so proud of her and love her so much. You never hear about the struggles of the male parents because it’s not news worthy but that’s ok. To all you single parents living on the edge of survival...hang in there you got this.

[@LoveIXTC]

big respect

[@fascinatinglist9654]

I'm really sorry to hear about your situation. Male genders are increasingly blurred in our post-modern era. The weekly earnings for single parents families is over twice as much as the loss for families with more than one adult and children. Covid has been hard for everyone but for single parents it's been really devastating. I hope you continue to be strong for your children hopefully things will change for the better by some miracle if you believe in that sort of thing.

The first lady says she applied for unemployment in April, which finally arrived in June. Well, on top of her actual unemployment, there was the DUA assistance, which at that time was an additional $600 per week, thru July. And since then, it's been lowered to $400, and now it's $300 additional. So, based on these numbers, she was probably getting more in unemployment, than her actual salary, and she could pay her rent. I just hope she's not taking advantage of the eviction moratorium, because landlords are also suffering, because people are using it as an excuse. If people can pay rent, and they aren't, they're hurting others, who still have mortgages, and many landlords rely on the rent to meet their own personal obligations. That isn't right either, it goes both ways. If you can pay, pay... because it always comes back.

So even if the person that got laid off does get a job; they'll be getting 30%-40% of their check garnished from them by a collections agency so I doubt the person will be able to afford a new place to stay. This is why people NEED to stop moving to large cities.

Why does any tenant think a landlord should not evict them. The landlord needs his rent money. If they are not paying, how in the world can they justify staying in a rental unit with no income. They CAN make plans. They can move in with friends, or family. They try to portray the landlords as the bad guys. PLUS, look at all these "single mothers" out there. Where are the fathers of those children. Are they paying child support? You get a rental house and hope for a good tenant. If they don't pay, carrying a sign saying "homes are a human right" doesn't do a thing for me. They are trying to create a right they have for living in your property without paying. They have kids they can't afford and none of them have any savings. Poor planning from start to finish. And of course, none of them want to move to an area where rents are cheaper. They are all entitled and you just have to evict them. They aren't worried MORE about paying rent then I have no qualms about setting them out on the street. That's another example. You throw them out with a sheriff. Do they camp on the lawn homeless? No, they go somewhere else to live. Something they should have done when they could not pay the rent.

Rent control will not help her situation.

[@qbert3]

I was raised by a single mom who struggled. I feel your pain and the kids too. the helplessness of knowing, even if you mowed every lawn in the neighborhood, it wouldn't add up. I hope this year brings us the changes we needed, so we can some how start living again.

Why did't she pay her rent , with her unemployment checks....??? It is my understanding that unemployment checks were going to be more bc of the pendemic. I don't get it. First things first.

Dude don't. She got a 6 grand lump sum when unemployment kicked in late, just like everyone else. Then got almost 700 a week every week for most of last year. Then don't forget the 2 grand in stimulus checks last year. Plus she is still getting unemployment right now. This woman did not pay her rent hoping it would be forgiven due to the pandemic. A lot of people made way more through unemployment than at their previous job.

She didn't get 2000$ she got 1200$

@@lisettes.9598 I see where you're coming from maybe what would be better to ask for is a gofundme for ALL the people that are struggling to pay rent. I got a roof over my head, running water and food in the refrigerator so if I have extra money left over I'm going to do everything I can to help. 🤷‍♂️

[@lisettes.9598]

@@Cbd_7ohm The woman who said she owes 6 grand in rent said her unemployment came late. Which means she got a huge lump sum of thousands then almost 700 weekly most of last year. And is still getting money. Plus her stimulus check since she obviously had a tax return for 2019. I know this because everyone who got unemployment last year got the same benefits due to covid relief.

This is absolutely ridiculous 😠😠 These women need help NOW. These are the families that need a bail out from the government. What is $1400 in the grand scheme of it all??? These people need no less than $10k just to get on their feet, buy food, get caught up, etc. The United States government as a whole is disgraceful and I am disgusted. These big corporations don't need a bail out... bail out these citizens out here on the ground suffering for heavens sake 😖

WHY SHOULD I CARE WHEN PEOPLE WERE GETTING SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS PER WEEK?
