Rent Strike Movement Gaining Steam

Maybe that is where the bank will put people when landlords default on their mortgages because tenants stopped paying.

People are SO STUPID.
They just see their little piece of the puzzle.
Renters all stiff the landlords.
The landlords all stiff the banks.
The banks start closing their doors.

IT WON'T BE LIKE "It's a Wonderful Life",
you can count on THAT.

The government can create a a few zillion more
hyper-inflation bucks out of thin air,
and shower them down from a helicopter,
but as we spiral downward,
and the dollar collapses,

there will be no more food, because the
farmers aren't going to work their asses off
from dawn to dusk out of the kindness of
their hearts (which is legendary in America)

No roof over your head.
No food in your kid's bellies.
No hope...

recipe for CHAOS and ANARCHY.

then...MARTIAL LAW.

GOODBYE America.

Great, now the landlords will lose their buildings to the banks and the governments for not paying their mortgages and taxes.

It will be a great time for picking up properties really cheap.

.

Nice except us small landlords still have to write very large checks for property taxes, insurance, water bills, fuel, landscaping, appliance repair, pest control, painting, tree work, garbage pickup, snow removal, septic tank servicing, required state water tests and all other repairs.. Landlords will go broke within a few months if no rent is paid.

Then your water and heat will be cut off, and the towns will foreclose on the properties-- for lack of tax payment, and kick you out. Everything will go downhill-- so good luck with your freebie.

I am a retiree landlord and I depend on my rental property for a small amount of monthly income even though it is a pain to manage. I worked hard for it, and I was also a renter for much of my life.

Unless you've never paid taxes, it's your money being "returned" to you. But, hey, send me the check, I'll cash it.

Um, hello poor intelligence people of planet earth.

What happens when you don't pay rent?

Yeah for a short time you won't get evicted, however when the crisis is over you will have to pay back all the due rent - unless the Government decides to pay your rent.

Why? The landlords most likely have a mortgage they have to pay. If you don't pay, they don't pay - foreclosure occurs and you're out on the street anyhow. This escalates and housing becomes tighter further driving up rent.

You're best off paying as much of the rent now as you can, so that you're not too far behind later.

You ain't seen nothing yet!

TPTB are going to have to waive a lot more than rent if they want to save the Economy during these lockdowns.

Many will take advantage but will be Shamed and dealt with.

Why? Are you a banker?

Nah..that’s HIS PROBLEM. Like I said, I ain’t paying SHIT. He can either let rent slide for several months at his expense or try to force me out..in which case I will fuck his place up. I even told him this.

I fall into a catigory where the government shut down all the companies I worked for.

The government forced all jobs to be canceled. Most of us are finding zero help from UI.
We have been put on hold, a forced hold by the government. Now that same government is not helping any of us. Highly trained in my field I was booked solid through September and now I have zero jobs.

We are contract workers for the live entertainment industry. I am trying to come up with something web-based. It is possible I may not even get the 1,200.

Most will fall off health insurance around May now....even the Unions are finding this too.

If the government puts our lives on hold...they need to do the same for the Banksters.

then in 10 - 20 years the young will murder your old ass -

Come get me too you assclown. I am consideted poor. Cant adford health care. But i dont live like theres no tomorrow. I save and already paid my rent and ALL my bills. You dont deserve any of the stimulus because youll spend it on crack. Useless eaters and repeaters should die. Youre a virus to the economy.

Yeah I've paid my taxes, since I was 16 and got my first job at a bottle redemption center. Even then I was shocked and appalled at how much they siphoned from my check

But that's the past.... I think now is the perfect time for me to "decouple" from the System. As much as I can anyway.

Tent, guitar for busking, and a backpack. And shoes.

That's pretty much all I have anyway, lol.

Being without AC will suck, but I can just walk somewhere cooler. Life won't be so bad

What about the person whom owns the property and pays a mortgage? I guess You haven't thought about that poor sap now have You?

In Detroit it's a little harsher than that even. I knew store owners who are dead now.

I suspect property owners are going to get bailed out, too.

It might already be in the stimulus bill that passed into law

you're not special, shitty liberals need to pay their bills

In NYC that will not cover your rent.

They are coming to your town to help burn it down!

Money will soon be meaningless as will property rights. You have the right to the property you can defend.

If this spreads into retail, then expect brick and mortar shops to close costing millions of jobs forever and it all goes online. Then the mark of the beast system(Name(user)) and number of that name(password number via digital implant))to go online will occur, and so virus spreading cash will also go.

There is no way people will want to go online to log into their hundreds of accounts with hundreds of shops to remember all those separate user names and passwords*that could be later hacked and acquired), so a universal hackless user name and pass number system will need be created via a I.D chip implant so that people can access everything without having to remember so many login details (that could be hacked)and you will not be able to buy nor sell unless you have your universal user name and pass number I.D chip(that can't be hacked)....

Wow, you sound surprisingly like all my family and friends.

I personally disagree, with you too.

Does a monk who lives alone and prays all day, live a worthless life?

I think not. The sum of my life-energy is for God to judge.

A lot of people are going to lose, including landlords. If I lost money on the stock market, I knew the risks getting in, same goes for investing in property. It sucks for both sides and I can see the logic for both sides of the argument. May be more productive to focus on who really is responsible for this and how to receive compensation from them.

I'm a landlord. I'm not aware of any huge bailouts coming my way.

I still have to pay the mortgage payment and utilities and the rent money I receive pays for that.

If the mortgage can't be paid then all tenants and myself will be out on the street.
