Feeling the “warmth of collectivism”.
Any token scrap for the landlords?
The Winter Eviction Moratorium bill says “evictions are the leading cause of homelessness” with no mention that “failing to pay your rent/bills, follow the lease clauses are the leading cause of eviction.”
This is why I don’t have tenants. Too easy for the law to take their side, and they know it. A law like this gives them squatting privileges!
Good luck renegotiating the lease, too.
Well, the landlord can always tell his mortgage company, utilities, tax authority, etc., that the humane thing to do is to waive all that in bad weather.
Sounds like an illegal taking by the govt
China, therefore, is not communist anymore, it's fascist.
And so too heads New York.
Takes me literally six months to fill a vacancy. That’s because only 2% of the total applicant population has a credit score above 600, a clean rental history, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t have a criminal record, has never been evicted.
BTW, eviction records are SEALED in NYS so you have to do your own detective work. Social media helps a lot because that 98% of irresponsible renters show themselves on it.
The government has incentivized bad tenant behavior.
ha ha ha ha! No, the landlord is expected to keep up with maintenance, keep all utilities running, pay taxes, insurance, mortgage whilst not being paid for at least 5 months out the year.
I predict rents will DOUBLE.
I didn’t know that evictees weren’t allowed to go to Florida.
“Winter Eviction Moratorium now being proposed to ban evictions between Nov 1st and April 15th”
This is for every year? And it includes non payment of rent?
“Sounds like an illegal taking by the govt”
It will be challenged and removed.
You win!
Now help me get back up off the floor.

I can deal generally deal with ridesthemiles posts because they are mostly brief and 1 liners. My head exploded reading the post from AbolishCSEU😀
Sorry about the cut and paste directly from the pontificating politicians themselves (the actual proposed bill)
LOL. Politicians want to give their voters a headache and avoid reading the bill..
We have been tenants at-will for close to 3 decades, by the grace of God under 2 LL's in 2 locations (12 years at our present one), both of which kept the rent much lower than the norm (thank God: a 3 BR apt. in a typical 100+ year-old building is at least $2,500 in this densely populated NE city) and try to never bother the LL who overall has not bothered us (unlike the city if they do habitability inspections on all rentals). And who lets me do minor repairs (replace faucet, fix loose steps, paint them yearly, etc.) And we save him on the water bill, though I have a garden (use rainwater).
However, that is the Lord's doing, as part of a Christian ministry, to whom I give thanks.
This is what I look for in a tenant:
1. Credit score above 600
2. Clean rental history (preferably with a complex and not exclusively a private landlord—this is because nowadays bad tenants purposely look for private landlords WHO DON’T SCREEN)
3. non smoker
4. stability—minimal drama
5. not overextended 3X income to rent ratio
In my area that openly protects bad tenant behavior and seals/hides eviction records, only 2% of people responding to my ads fit the above 5 criteria. A sad state of affairs.
