Rent Strike Movement Gaining Steam

You'd be amazed at how many people rent their homes because they bought a house in 2008 and are still upside down on their mortgage. Many rental owners rent their home out because they could not sell, had to move and could not pay two mortgages.

this land is your land, this land is my land.

why would you steal from a fair society if you OWN a piece, your mom owns a piece...etc....? that would be stealing from YOURSELF

Imagine a landlord threatening you with bad credit when half of the country is about to go bankrupt.

just buy everybody's houses FROM them.....and settle it. now share it with EVERYBODY

Just wait until 99% are unemployed. Then, the 1% that is employed still in poverty will still say stop being a freeloading loser even though there is no more opportunity to pay the bills

Wonder how shocked these people are going to be when their homes are foreclosed on and the bank kicks them out, because the greedy landlord didn't make his mortgage payment?

I’ll tell you what needs to happen. The federal government owns a SHIT TON of land that they OWE to Americans. We’ve been paying into your bullshit for long enough just to be told there will be no money left or that inflation made all that disappear

They are doing the same thing with foreclosures as evictions. They say they won’t happen

Absofuckinlutely

The Stimulus Package is as follows. As I understand it.
$1200 gross. Taxable over 3 years Deducted From tax refunds over 3 years.
As of this morning the unemployment extra $600 per MONTH x 4 is not confirmed by Wi per there web sight.By my sisin law.
So much disinformation .It is not free!

Well the first thing you better do is save money...cancel your internet service to begin with...

Should be shutting off in about 10 days. Give or take.

I have no income, so I can't "save" any money. I got 22 bucks left to my name. And my guitars. Which I will end up selling at some point soon

It's a little scary, but whatevs.

Thanks for that! This is EXACTLY why I won't be singing those fucking things.

Do you have to ask for it, by the way?

Quite a few European countries have suspended rents, MORTGAGES, and utilities until the crisis is over; likely for at least the rest of the year. Here in the USA we have to gets tens or hundreds of thousands of signature from citizens to even propose the idea to our leaders, and even then only a few states have only suspended rents.

This 6.2 $Tn "care bill" is shored up by mortgage backed securities; the same type of bubble that caused the 2008 financial crisis. This time it's not sub-prime accounts that are the ticking time bomb, it's suspended rent payments in a gig economy heavily reliant on rental properties; fucking air b'n'b-tards.

Think about it. Cool, renters don't have to pay shit. Well, the person who has a loan out on that condo or house won't be able to pay their mortgage on that rental unit if their renter doesn't pay their rent. Some property owners rely on renters for their sustenance, so this move basically means after 90 days of this there are gonna be a fuck ton of defaults/foreclosures and this will all come crashing down worse than a fucking asteroid impact.

If Trump exec orders a suspension on rents AND mortgages nationwide then I feel that would prop up this wobbly volatile economy a bit longer, and give most americans a safety net and lower stress levels. Otherwise here in America we're fucked. Europe might have a chance.

So how's it feel to have to who're yourself out working for a paycheck?
Schmuck.

No.If you had direct deposit on last years refund you will get it.We are putting ours in a envelope in Weimar cash For next year.They can keep there fiat.Ah-ha money!Then the good times roll.

It’s not difficult to see a lot of folks are going to suffer from all this shit financially. My wife and I are fortunate in being debt free. We still own our old house and have a tenant. Young lady with two small kids. Told her to forget paying rent for April. Will probably forego the rent for at least a couple of months. Taxes that are due in June and September have already been covered and there were no other expenses the past year up till now.
Depending on just how far and long this goes on, we may either cut the rent in half or just let it slide for a time. This young lady is very responsible and takes very good care of the property. She Is a nurse and is on the front line every day.
We can’t help everybody, but feel we need to do what we can. One less thing for her to worry about while taking care of sick folks.

Haha, I don't even have a bank account.

Score one for the little guy!

Thanks for the info, I feel better already ar-15

Pay your rent you fucking bums. Nobody owes you shit!

Go live in your truck fuckhead. If you were my tenant that’s exactly where you would be. And I would sue you without conscience

^^^^FUCKING THIS^^^^

Other countries are waiving mortgage and reduced utilities but we cant? This seems to be leading back to bankers time for them to bail the people out.bankers were the problems from the start just ask jesus how he felt about the money changers.im not one for freeloading or socialist ways we should be earning our fair share but if the government wants to shut down the economy for a virus that is no where near as dangerous or deadly as other viruses previously experienced they should step in and tell the banks to waive the mortgage payments until this is over.the banks have gotten our bail out money before let's get that back until people can get to work.the bankers and elite are the problem.

Why should I worry about the landlords income over my own? What makes them worthy of more consideration than I recieve?

"payments be waived, not delayed,..."

So, they think it's 'helpful' to delay your rent for three
months? But you have to pay them back when it's done?

So, now your behind 3 months rent, and no job. And they're
doing this in the hopes you will have 3 months rent at
some point when you get back on your feet? If you get
your job back?


That would mean letting go of other 'priorities' to

get that large sum of money back.

Which do they suggest people stop paying to pay them back?

Car bill?
Insur. bill?
Food bill?
Nat. Gas bill?
Elec. bill?
Health Insur. bill?
Trash bill?
Water bill?
Transportation bill?
Daycare bill?



Clearly these people are nowhere near being realistic in
how humankind has been saddled with so much debt,
once you're behind, that's pretty much when your
world falls apart. Credit gets ruined. Cars taken away.

I'm not really sure they fully realize that trying to keep
this 'unrealistic expectation' while answering this request
was well thought out.

In all honesty, I personally thought they were
waiving the rent bills because I didn't think they could be that cruel.

This situation seems bad enough to me to do it...

Sad

The Rent is still TOO DAMN HIGH!

They have been putting up new modern looking apartments in my town but it's in the older poorer part of town. I guess they are buying up property of old people who died and their old '30's/40s style older small homes are torn up and modern apartments going up.

The problem is these things rent for over 1400 a month! Who the frick in this part of town has that kind of money? No one. That's half the monthly income for majority of people around here. It's baffling. Idk, maybe they are housing 4 college students in them or something. No one but doctors/lawyers/professors or business owners make that kind of money around here.

So, still no affordable rental apartments since the new ones are through the roof!

That sounds like YOUR problem.

Sell the house to a family member and and terminate their lease. Fucking scumbag thieves.
