Stay classy, guys.
I understand that this eviction moratorium was "hard" on these guys.
So hard that they had *checks notes... enough money afterwards to throw a big celebration that the eviction moratorium was finally over.
I understand that not all tenants are great. I've seen the aftermath.
But sorry, this is a business, shitty tenants are literally the risk you're willing to take by choosing to own a rental. Fucking grow a pair, bunch of fucking whiners.
"But we made marginally less money than we would have! We still have enough money to throw a big party about it, though!"
There's tone deaf and there's whatever the fuck this is.
It's one thing to take a risk of a shitty tenant. It's another to have a shitty tenant who is abusing emergency rules free of consequences.
Some asshole who signs a lease, trashes the place, refuses to pay a dime in rent and then refuses to vacate just ends up getting subsidized by everyone who doesn't do any of that.
I get that landlords aren't the most sympathetic group always but eviction is a necessary legal remedy to keep rental housing affordable and available for responsible people.
Either the courts need to be processing evictions in a timely manner and following the law or landlords need to be able to regain their property by other means. Having the government tell them that they are forced to keep providing services to an abusive tenant who is taking advantage will just force out anyone too small to amortize out that risk to hundreds of other tenants and ensure the entire rental market is owned by faceless investors and giant megacorps and that rental prices will continue to skyrocket.
There's more people then houses in the US, so not really. The necessary remedy is making sure everyone only has one.
Yeah, there's more houses than people in the US. Are you going to relocate people from vibrant city centers to dying small towns with dilapidated, vacant houses with leaking roofs and bad electricals? Not everyone wants to live in Buttfuck, Kansas
