losing when they can't cheat drives RATS insane... so they try to change the rules ex-post-facto

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team on Sunday urged President Joe Biden to immediately renew and extend the eviction moratorium until Oct. 18 after House Democrats failed to marshal the votes to prevent its lapse this weekend.
Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) and Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) issued a joint statement Sunday night putting the ball back in the Biden administration’s court, after the White House on Thursday said it could not extend the eviction ban and urged Congress to do it.
“It is clear that the Senate is not able to [extend the ban], and any legislation in the House, therefore, will not be sufficient,” the senior Democrats said. “Action is needed, and it must come from the administration."....
The lapse of the moratorium this weekend meant millions of tenants around the country faced the risk of losing their homes. About 7.4 million adult tenants reported they were behind on rent in the latest U.S. Census Bureau survey, which was taken during the last week of June and the first week of July. About 3.6 million tenant households said they were “somewhat likely” or “very likely” to face eviction over the next two months

It is HER responsibility to file a bill. It would be sweet to see Psaki call SanFranNan out on this, defending her boss.
Here’s a solution and it has to be done by the states using the money already allocated under previous relief bills. Remembering that states screwed up by not implementing appropriate application processes, etc. Set it up so the eviction judge can distribute the money direct to the landlord for deserving cases. Judge finds the renter was truly screwed by the lockdown, didn’t blow their relief payments on beer and Skittles, sends paperwork to the state agency to facilitate the payment of back rent.
Good history there. Been done before. Thank you.
So we know what happens next, this is what should be discussed now at this point.
Pelosi, Biden and Obama all on the same page....don’t underestimate them trying to look otherwise.
In the long run there will be forgiveness of rental debt....that’s where this is headed.
Funny how we've moved from a representative democratic republic to a rule-by-decree dictatorship...
I have friends who have invested in residential real-estate in various forms. I have seen the advantages of cash-flow, tax and appreciation, but their units need a lot of care and maintenance, and all have had problems with tenants at one time or another. For that reason, I have avoided it
Now the government is allowing and promoting outright theft of rent.

“My 2nd house was paid off free and clear before I had a tenant.”
This is a key point that is missed in the “Landlord vs tenant wars” of Free Republic.
You did it the right way by clearing your debt on the 2nd home. Many landlords didn’t and are completely dependent on rental income for making mortgage payments, to the financial sector they borrowed from.
The Banks after 2007-2009 unloaded a ton of residential mortgages on the professional class.
I have a simple message for that over leveraged professional class:
“You knew what you signed.”
“Pay your bills” if you don’t you’re a “deadbeat.”
Socialism and outright government interference and thievery. Its a classic path to housing shortages
Between the endless Unemployment Insurance, the Fedgov $300 pandemic bucks, and now AOC's push for $1200 a month for everyone, what's the problem? Just keep those printing presses maintained and we're all good. /s
Letting in “refugees” is quasi-legal and that power has always rested in the executive branch.
More telling were the attempts to stop that power by the leftists when Trump wielded it the other way.
Your point is correct....more dues to the landlord, but I seriously doubt out of every 100 who’ve refused to pay rent....that you have more than one or two who might have the cash to cover the past situation.
All of this, in my humble opinion, is going to lead to 1930s type hobo-living, with six to eight million out on the streets by mid-Oct...on top of whoever lives there now. But it’ll also lead to empty apartments/housing around the US, where landlords refuse to deal with people with past issues as they approach and want a new deal.
Can only imagine how many shares Pelosi and her husband have in Blackrock. This moratorium has made BR billions.
No, there was a protest outside of Nancy’s San Fran house over the weekend. They posted an EVICTION notice on the door/gateway to her walled compound.
Sounds like it had the desired effect.
I remember reading that she called the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and asked him to remove Trump as well.
I’m seeing the effects here in ATL metro. My new lease is twenty percent higher than last year and I know it’s to make up for tenants who couldn’t or didn’t pay. It’s frustrating
“what’s the problem?”
They spend it on whiskey, lotto tickets and color TVs.
“Wonder what John Roberts thinks about the arrogant monsters he helped create now?”
Roberts will think what he is told to think.
Same here - I haven’t had a rent increase in over 5 years… suddenly it needs to go up $20/month.
Where are all the lawyers? They could at least try to end this criminal activity. This is violation of the constitutional protection against search and seizure of one’s property. The 4th amendment was put into place to protect against this. Instead of taking your property to house soldiers they are instead taking it to house tenants. No difference in the legal sense. So why are there no lawyers at least pushing this up to the corrupt USSC on these grounds?
