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.

Paying a mortgage is over rated. Thankful I no longer have rentals.

Feds going to own all debt before this is finished.

Read the details. Property rights are protected, these are temporary situations and the landlords will be compensated from funds already at the President’s disposal. Plus most of these people are probably already in subsidized housing.

He’s taken an issue away from the Dems and also has limited it so they can’t do their “nobody ever has to pay rent again and by the way we’re seizing your property” shtick.

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?

Back rent may be the least of it. A rental property is only worth the value of all the rent it will ever earn discounted back to today. Now that the "no eviction" cat is out of the bag, how will property owners be compensated for the loss of property value now that the rental stream is far less certain?

I have heard that, b4me. But, I’ve never seen any details around any specific instance.
Heck, I was a contractor, engaged by a company to perform work for yet another company.
COVID bullcrap got my engagement, and I had NO problem getting full unemployment benefits, including the FED stipend.

What circumstances would keep someone from getting this money, if the employment was legal and above board?
