Good politics.
Piss poor fiscal management and dereliction of duty to protect private property rights.
So...I’m just a country boy, but this crap makes no sense.
If people were laid off or terminated from employment due to COVID, they were getting regular unemployment, PLUS $600 a week from taxpayers. You saying they couldn’t pay the damn rent?
If people were not laid off, and continued to work, how were they suddenly unable to pay the damn rent that they had been paying all along?
So, there’s another scenario...persons whose hours may have been trimmed or cut to such a level that they were making enough less than previously, and so cannot pay their rent. This is the closest instance to ‘valid’ that I can see.
This whole ‘eviction freeze’ smells like so much bovine excrement. And, it further impacts persons who may have a few rental properties from which they derive their own incomes... Who is considering those folks?
Smells to high Heaven, IMO.
If you are a small time landlord, better sell now. You think the renters will pay the back rent? Will your bank forgo all the mortgage payments? Can you afford to keep fixing your properties with no income?
More unconstitutional crap from Trump and co.
