In a mostly empty conference room at a Virginia cultural arts center, Tara Simmons was looking for someone who might help her stave off eviction.

Simmons, a 44-year-old home health aide who lives with her two children and two grandchildren, was only a month behind on her rent. But that didn’t stop her landlord from ordering her out of the house by Saturday, when the federal eviction moratorium ended.

What are the landlords supposed to do? I seem to miss things and this is another example of writing that I don't get at all.

The state will seize the property from the landlords without compensation, and the revolution will continue.

If the landlords resist, they will be sent to re-education camps.

That is what the left calls "equity".

The assumption is that the income from rent is mere play money for the wealthy owners. This is a dismantling of private property.

“This is an opportunity not to go back to normal
In this case normal means you or the government i.e. taxpayers pay for your housing. In the "new" normal the taxpayers pay. IOW we take from the rich and give to the poor. IN Animal Farm terms the Landlords are the farmer, the pigs are DC politicians and the tenants are the farm animals.

“This is a dismantling of private property.”

Lots of very liberal people/companies own rental property. I still don’t get it.

What about her husband? She has grandchildren? Wonderful. The parents should be taking care of those children. Sounds like she has adult children at home with children of their own and they’re all sponging off of her. She has no one to blame but herself.

I hate to sound heartless, but if that landlord doesn’t pay the mortgage on that property he will lose it. Who is going to pay his mortgage?

Now, it is also true that the Democrats orchestrated the housing crisis with their laws that forced banks to make loans to people that had no way of paying them back - knowing, I believe, that what happened would happen.

Now the Democrats have orchestrated a crisis in the rental market with their plandemic, just as they also created a scenario through their continual unemployment payments so that people aren’t even interested in getting a job. This is making it possible for the big box stores to put all the mom and pops out of business - and we are seeing the impact that they are making on cancel culture.

Folks, this is ALL orchestrated . . . all planned . . . to destroy the American way of life. This is no longer the country of our youth, let alone our grandparents.

Stop this Marxism. Landlords should not have to bear the burden of caring for tenants who can’t pay their rent, any more than grocery stores should have to give them free food, garages should have to give the free repairs, etc. COVID funds for lost rent should be paid directly directly to the landlords, rather than be passed through corrupt big city governments.

Hint: When you see mass media writing "you don't get at all" it means they want to steal your stuff and then kill you--and they hope you don't notice...

In our area at least 90% of rental houses are owned by older people who thought it would be a good investment to hold on to the home that they lived in for many years instead of selling it. The eviction moratorium has been a huge nightmare for many of them. Typically over the past 18 months renters have been living it up buying new cars and expensive electronic trinkets while not paying rent and the old people who own the home that they are living in are barely able to scrape by. I know of dozens of examples.

Did Austin extend the property tax deadline for landlords?

(rhetorical question—we all know the answer...)

Don’t be in breach of contract near the end of the contract term and then wonder why the contract is not getting renewed. Could be why we don’t see hotels and weekly beach rentals full of squatters.

Yeah--really bad call on their part--rental property has a bunch of stuff that can go sideways, elders should be in much more low maintenance investments...

We elected to empty our properties. Sitting empty but about to come back.

My take: If the government wants to eliminate evictions, then they can pay the rent to the landlord.

This is the equivalent of preventing stores from stopping shoplifting. I suppose the only way to really protect yourself as a landlord is to enter into short term leases and require the tenant to pay ALL rent up front, with the understanding that they are out on a particular date, but they can renegotiate before that date for a “new” lease.

A tenancy of four years and the landlord is evicting her for being one month in arrears? I feel there is more to this.
