Rent Strike Movement Gaining Steam

This thread went.... not so well, LOL

Wow , someone bust ass to buy a rental property now get stuck with the tenants payments. Now much of these property owners will not only lose their homes but their rentals too. This is so fucked up

About 90% of my contracts have closed except for the Trucking Companies that I service and a metals fabricator in Atlanta. Basically leaving me with no income I did however drop my 900$ warehouse rent check in the mail today, for a warehouse that is now sitting empty until I am up and running again. WHO KNOWS WHEN!!! And oh yea I have a 1500$ home mortgage payment due by the 15th if I don't want a penalty. I am no lazy bum but I really was hoping for a freeze from the top down. LIke after a hurricane I know something like this has been done before.

I'm a property manager for other owners of single and multi family homes. This is already a giant pain in my ass. I'm having more tenants calling me about not paying that are trying to take advantage of this than tenants who have actually lost income. I ask them if they have lost a job and most have said no. Why do you need to not pay rent then? Many that do lose a job and file unemployment will actually earn more than they were before. A lot of my tenants don't earn $600 a week and now they will get that on top of unemployment. I know people that have said they hope they get laid off. Evictions are already suspended for four months. That's on top of courts already being closed for a month. When you can actually file for eviction the backlog is going to be unbelievable. It's going to take probably 3 to 6 months to get a court date, maybe more. I've got people that did not pay February rent that had nothing to do with coronavirus that may still be in the home in November without paying rent. I never want to put people out in hardship but a lot of people are just going to take advantage of this at the expense of the homeowner. People think that landlords are wealthy investors. I can tell you 90% of my clients are mom and pops. If they miss a rent payment they feel it. As for our company we are paid a percentage of rent collected. So if no rent comes in that affects me, my employees and our families. Nothing is free. All of this will come at a major expense.

What will the percentage be of homeless people after this shit?

Yeah I'm crying in my beer for land-owning gentry

As a serf with my invisible chains, I still don't envy them

It'll be a lot of zombies!

Not sure, probably higher.

OR..... more nuclear families?

The latter would actually be a good thing for society!

Newsflash: landlords have expenses, too. Pay up or get out.

Oh snap! You shut that guy up good!!

Yeah, I think a lot of people are about to get a "brick to the face" about how money works... you don't pay your rent, your landlord can't pay the bank, bank takes the property and now both you and landlord are screwed.

You think landlords are tough, try to talk the banks in letting you stay in your nice apartment for free.

Pay what you can, but many are going to have to downsize, get roommates, or move back with their parents thanks to the Corona.

It's a i big poop sandwich and we're all gonna have to take a bite.

I agree.

I’m, you know, pretty conservative. My husband is too. But deeper than that, we’re Christians.

My mind thinks “No free lunch.” My heart says these are unique times and people are really hurting, cut ‘em a break.

May God Bless all of them, and all of us who are managing to make ends meet.

I was adding to my shit, LOL!

Correct, ma'am.

That's why after next month, I begin my life as a wandering hobo. I better start boning up on edible plant life...

Rent Strike is stupid.

You will just have to pay it later

You will not be getting free rent

Besides this the idea of postponing evictions is not the same as free rent

You still OWE the money!!

You will HAVE to pay or be evicted..

Just on a later date

I know, I was just being silly

Bless you

:christ:

Lol a trump tard that explains the stupidity in your post.

So will everybody get their jobs back?

You got no idea what hell is coming.

You're going to regret ever voting for traitor Trump the ziocucking SELLOUT.

I thought they were giving them a stimulus check? Pay your shit out of that! Then garnish future taxes to pay it back!

that cunt probably wasnt giving a shit about if the tenants could afford his overpriced rent when he was cashing the rent checks and he was buying that sweet car off the money he got from people poorer than him -

For the record.... one more time:

I MAY be a piece of shit.

But I am NOT a freeloader

Thank you.

Doesn't matter, everything you buy is going up. Supply and demand is a mother fucker!

Its called and economic freeze you greedy apes. If every level of debt is put on hold no one loses even you greedy fucks who had to leverage renters to pay your debts. There are millions of renters who have no income whatsoever and the future looks bleak. If they dont have the money how can they pay the rent. This situation will lead to massive blow back and land lords will be at the top of the list along with many demons of DC.

Mobile in your home haircuts.....covid free hair cutter person is extra

you dont think theres a magic wand to bring the jobs back? Obama is that you ?

I do wish him luck in kicking you out, and turning any thought of damaging his property against you instead. Although I am sure you would not have any such thoughts!

Good point.

But I will not accept the check.

THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY for me to drop out of life, culture, and society at large. I've been waiting for a good "excuse" my whole life .

Well, now is the time. I can just disappear. I haven't even seen a single living member of my family in 10 years, so nobody's going to notice.

I think this is the greatest "gift" I will have received, from all this mayhem
