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.
Paying a mortgage is over rated. Thankful I no longer have rentals.
Feds going to own all debt before this is finished.
not everyone laid off or terminated due to Covid got unemployment of any kind. I know of more than a few.
