What I was thinking.
If the story is true, it’s not a case of a longsuffering landlord being finally forced to evict deadbeat tenants. It’s evicting people one day late with rent, people owing relatively small amounts of money, and they are tacking on penalties and fees many times what is owed. Should they provide free housing? Of course not. They’re showing themselves a little short on grace and mercy, however. Especially considering that the pastor’s housing allowance seems more than generous.
Yes. You may be right about this. I have to admit that wherever anyone lives in the country, with rare exception, his housing allowance is exorbitant. And if he’s playing the “one day late so you’re out” card, that is weaponizing his landlord role. It makes him the epitome of the “landlord from hell”.
Because it’s an allowance, it is not taxed. $89,000 a year in free money.
