Evicted And Living In Their Car During A Pandemic 

Watch next: Food or Rent? The face of the eviction crisis in an apartment complex just two miles from the nation's capital ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O3JeDVLzzVY.html

What is $600 going to do for these people? Our government is pathetic

Many Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless - so people don't think this can't happen to you.

When she said “I wish I had a cozy home” my heart broke 💔

“I wish I had a cozy home” Bless her heart. I hope she finds her cozy home soon ❤️

This could be any of us. Many of us are one or two checks from being homeless. Be kind because this could be you and your family.

Meanwhile politicians are still debating over a stimulus check.

Now I’m starting to see part of the reason Vanlife is expanding and looking good. Some (not all) are just trying to survive.

This could happen to anyone always keep humble and grateful

How the hell is she supposed to get back on her feet when she has an eviction record on her name as a direct result of the pandemic. A broken system creates broken people 👎🏼

I dislike how this channel capitalized off this couple’s story yet they didn’t list any links or information for others to help and assist them.

When you're comfortable you're supposed to be preparing for the uncomfortable times, that means savings. He lost his job driving trucks but what happened to her job? They have no kids so she had no excuse to not be out working too. It's not enough to have one income in a house anymore.

The way capitalism sees housing as a commodity to be sought after and competed for is so disgusting. Everyone deserves somewhere to live

My blood started boiling when she was denied the prequalification for the home because of the eviction. Just cruel.

It should be a crime to evict people during this Pandemic.

This is unfortunate. I was homeless with my 5 kids in 2017 after being raped by a manager on the job. I lost my mind, ability to work and provide for my family. The landlord wanted us out because they wanted to sell the condo and I fell behind on the rent. The system wanted me to jump through hoops and treated me like a criminal. Students loans took the $13000 I was due to get in taxes that could have payed for everything. Although I filed for a hardship due to a pending eviction they denied me. This country and it's well to do ppl are evil and yet out of all of that the ppl who helped were dyfs, a lawyer who never took my case but advised me, the mayor and governers office, and a few others who understood that this wasn't fair. We elect these ppl into office make them do their jobs. I along with myself, advocates and my mothercalled their offices nonstop. Dyfs supported me so much throughout the ordeal. Paying for the renewal of my nursing license, trauma therapy, kids school supplies, new beds, food ect. They went above and beyond for my kids and I. The lawyer who never took my case advised me all the way until I moved into another home without charging me. A homeless advocate made calls and knew the laws and other ppl & avenues that opened up many doors. It literally took 8 months of living in a two bed one room hotel with 5 kids and a village to help restore what was lost. God carried us through a time in my life where I didn't even have the will power to live let alone do anything else for myself. He supplied my needs and provided ppl who cared enough to go above and beyond. I was also shown how cold this world truly was but I was also shown there are amazing ppl as well. Ps: manager is serving 9 yrs behind bars 7yrs for good behavior. My kids and I are more than blessed although it took many yrs to get here. All the glory to God. I pray for everyone in dire situations that seem hopeless. God is always in control trust in him

Is there an update on them? Please let us know that they’re in a new by now. Praying for them…🙏🏾

This is sickening. The fact that you wouldn’t rent someone a home during a pandemic due to an eviction knowing they were most likely evicted as a result of this global pandemic is so dark.

I feel so bad for them😢😢😢😢 my husband passed away six months ago I had to leave the apartment couldn't afford the Apartment I been looking around it so expensive!!! I know how she feels 🙏😢😢😢

She should not had said she was homeless. That makes people think you can't pay your rent. When they ask how soon u need to move in you just say in a week. If they ask where u staying just say I'm currently living with friends.

I am an American, and this is a complete embarrassment.

So eviction is like having a criminal recor? How is this allowed in a civilised society?

Its an unfortunate situation cause landlords have to get paid too. For some that's their only income and can be in the streets too. No one wins

Bruh this is disguisting why evict someone during a pandemic. These people deserve better

This country is no joke. This is how people stay homeless. This is sad.

Is there any update on them? My heart goes out them 🥺

My heart is troubled by this. That can happen to anyone of us

This is why Tiny homes should be allowed. They have many amenities and are affordable compared to a house.

Meanwhile, rich politicians were arguing over whether we deserve a $600.00 stimulus check 🤦🏿‍♀️

It's not the landlords fault that you've been evicted. You not pay rent, how is the mortgage suppose to be paid. Call your congressmen/councilmen or whom ever you voted for help, if you vote.

Unfortunately I think this couple was behind on rent BEFORE the pandemic, and now they're being evicted. It's very expensive to evict, and most landlords don't want to do it if they know you will be able to bring in at least SOMETHING. As for her being rejected at every call, for her sake (and anyone else watching this) PLEASE don't tell the person on the other end of the phone that you've been evicted if it just happened within the last month. She said she'd only been homeless for 19 days. That's not long enough for the eviction to show up on her record. She could've gotten into that house BEFORE the eviction showed up. smh. This whole thing is a mess. I feel for anyone and everyone in this situation. Lastly, PLEASE DON'T WAIT for someone to come and evict you. Once you start getting behind, start looking for another place and MOVE ON. You can't get an eviction on your record if you leave on your own. Yes, I'm a landlord!

OMG GIVE PEOPLE $2000 AND STOP SENDING MONEY TO OTHER COUNTRIES, WE CANT AFFORD IT RIGHT NOW... SMH

These are the people who should be receiving 2000/ month ! Not a one time miserable 600 dollars !🙏🏼

The unfortunate thing is it is a financial strain on the landlord and tenant. As a landlord I can't count how many times I heard "we just needed a little more time" I have been in a position where multiple chances were given, compromising, etc. This has caused ineligible tenants to just stop paying. Many mom/pop landlords are not just kicking people out. There are multiple layers to the situation

Just when you think it couldn't get any worse, I can't imagine this kind of struggle....My heart is breaking for this couple. Good Lord, it's incredibly sad and unbelievable that this is actually happening. I pray that one day they will finally have their break they need, and to have a safe, sanctuary to call home.

So y’all exploit these peoples story for views and ad revenue... but can’t even drop a link at the end of the video so we can donate? This is so disgusting and exploitive.

See, this is why I need to be rich, so that I can help people like this

“I wish I had a cozy home”. I felt that.

My daughter went through this same thing and the private owner accepted her and gave her a chance. So keep praying to God and I promise something will work out 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

“Don’t go to work”,they said “You’re safe at home”,they said, but what happens when you don’t have a home to go to. I feel for these people. I pray these people can get a place soon and my guy can get a new job soon.

Such an evil world, but never tell a potential landlord you're homeless, people just have no sympathy

The Pandemic showed how this country really feel about us

I am so glad I live in the UK. I don’t know what would happen if I didn’t have my social housing property. Imagine being treated like a criminal because you’re been evicted.

During this pandemic Ppl have show’d there true colors . But my GOD is watching and taking notes these some heartless ppl in this life today

She destroyed me when she said she wished that she had a cozy home! Just so damn sad!

I'm glad they have each other ♥, I remember when me & my boyfriend was homeless. We stuck it out in the red Mazda

My heart goes out to this family. They seem like genuinely nice, honest, hardworking people who do not deserve to be in these circumstances. I pray they catch a break soon. 😢

This sucks no one should be homeless especially during a pandemic like what the hell . This really breaks my heart .

Extremely sad. There is no reason why anyone in America should be homeless during a pandemic or anytime.

This is heartbreaking to watch. Although my life is falling apart in front of my own eyes. I hope and pray for these folks to find a home asap.

I am amazed that anybody got evicted at that point in time. In Central Florida our Courthouse closed down and there were zero evictions for year-and-a-half.

Not everyone has the luxury of falling back on their parents/family.

I just realized that having bad credit and an eviction is like having a serious crime on your record. Wow, that's cruel and inhumane. Especially to all the poor kids in student loan debt who can't find a job that pays enough to repay it. America is so backwards.

He wasn't able to get unemployment ? They were paying an extra $600 a week on top of regular UI.

I know just how she feels my heart goes out to her. i know what its like being constantly turned down from having an eviction i have 2 and she's so right its like they have your lives in their hands all they have to do is give you a chance.

when she said she wished she had a cozy home, i started to cry with this woman. god send all of us help, so many are struggling..

I agree basic housing is a *Fundamental Human Right* no one should be on the street, no kid, and no single parent.

I hope their situation has changed and they found housing and employment. May God Bless this couple and all of those that share their testimony. ❤️

Praying for them and everyone else going through this to get through the difficult times rooting for them to make it through

God put your hands over these families, I can’t imagine what they’re going through. Provide safety, food and the necessities.

America sending $10 billion to Israel annually with taxpayer money yet Americans living in their cars. Makes sense.

I am so sad for this dear lady, Margaret. I just want to give her a hug. I am praying for you and your husband to get a safe and cosy home that you deserve. God bless you! 🙏 ❤

This is so heartbreaking! I wish I had the ability to help this family and many families like this. Our country needs to do more to assist uS citizens. Just sad!

They would rather let a house go empty then help a homeless person.

I had the misfortune to be homeless last year for about 4 months. Unforgettable experience. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. No money no honey.

I can relate I was homeless and also got evicted, with 2 children. I could not rent a decent place for years, this too shall pass, I know it’s hard but take heart, you may have to find a relative/friend that you can rent a room from until y’all can balance yourselves out.

Homeless is getting larger and larger and larger. Cost of housing is rising Soo fast, people income don't keep up with everything, my heart goes out to this ladye

This is just sad man. There’s no such thing as a “steady, safe job”. They’ll cut your hours with no explanation

This breaks my heart. No one deserves to live like this.

I understand. I was pregnant and living on the streets during Covid while having Covid. I’ll never speak to that family again because of that. There is no forgiveness there. I send prayers to you! And I hope you’re doing well now. Nobody deserves to be homeless. Everyone deserves a home.

People who have been evicted because of COVID shouldn’t have an eviction on their records.

For anyone wondering, don’t tell them you’ve been evicted. They don’t see the eviction until it goes into collections! We found a home after being evicted during this pandemic, it’s hard but, you can do it.

My heart goes out to this family and other families like this one 😔

The same thing happened to a friend of mine. She got behind, she had been in and out of the hospital. The courts didn’t want to hear it. She has a disabled daughter and she was on disability. They didn’t care about the eviction pause. Thankfully she did finally find a place months later.

I live in the UK 🇬🇧. For many years I was at the mercy of landlords. I would move into property only to be told 6 months or a year later the landlord wanted their property back. My daughter at age 8 had moved eight times. We were evicted not because I hadn't paid the rent bills or destroyed property. The landlord wanted his property back and served me with an eviction notice. We had to move into hostel. One of the worst times of my life was being homeless and not having an address. We were up against a system. I found out I had little rights. The housing laws are very confusing. I really feel for this lady. I know how helpless she is feeling. I pray her situation and that of her husband improves soon.

I see alot of judgement in the comments. God forbid any of you heartless people become homeless. Don't hurt someone if you can't help them. ***I'm praying things get better for anyone homeless, and/or suffered income loss🙏🙏🙏*

Jesus put your arms around them.Not just for a minute but for their lives

I feel so sorry for them. I wish I had rental property

the owner of the building I manage , told me it cost a lot of money to get a lawyer and evict , so if he see's that a tenant looks like they might need to be evicted, he will pay them money to move, about $5000.00 so they can get a new apartment , it won't list eviction on their credit history, but they have to leave asap . He places the $5000. in an escrow account for the payment of a new property lease for the tenants. He has only had to do this twice, because he runs a very good background check on his tenants.

I saved every penny and bought a camper .that was a major life saver.

“We have money for wars but can’t feed the poor” this country is so evil I hate it so much!

Don't tell about the eviction or the homelessness... you don't have to answer every question a person asks... people are not sympathetic to your trouble.

As a landlord we are running a business 🙄 we are not charitable institutions we pay mortgages every month if the tenants not paying rent for many months we are suffering also! our government should help all the people whose suffering for this pandemic

There are billionaires out there and then there’s families like this, no one should be living in their car

This couple is in our prayers. We were homeless with 7 kids almost 2 years ago.

I'm a landowner and it really breaks my heart hearing this :(

You never wait to get evicted. Just like you never wait for your car to get repossessed or wait for a loan to default. You always communicate with the landlord and lender and work it out before they drop the hammer. They always have more power than you. The decisions they make will affect you.

The rent prices of the places she was looking for aren't that much lower than what I pay, and I make a bit more than the median wage. So many of us could easily end up in that situation if we lost our jobs or even if we had a financial emergency and had nobody to bail us out. Too many people are living paycheck to paycheck. We need better wages and lower rent. Nobody should be evicted during a pandemic. People > $

That is wicked. How can you evict people during this pandemic. How can they even find a job if all stores are closed 😬

This couple had previous eviction notices on their credit report before they moved into the residence they are referring to in April 2020. I found this information out by putting her name in a search engine. I knew there was something not right with their story. I conclude that the residence they were evicted from gave them a chance by renting to them with prior evictions on their record. They may have been late with rent in that short span of time and the landlord just got tired of feeling used and evicted them.

Another heartbreaking story. I hope these guys find their forever home. Sending ❤ from Brisbane Australia

This is just one story, imagine hundreds of thousands of others going through this currently. And here’s the American government with a $600 check

Please remember this when these judges are up for election. Get these people out!

If you understand these words say Amen. BE STILL.

I lost my home during Covid 19 . This world is sickening

I’m so sorry our government sucks.

For all the Greedy Landlords who Evicted people during a Pandemic, KARMA gonna Get You!

I dont think it's fair to turn away people with evictions nor is it fair to turn away people who don't make 3 times the rent either. People go through situations and make mistakes. It's called life and learning. I had gotten evicted from my home when I had to take time off from having cancer and chemo. My short term disability didn't pay enough for me cover my rent and I was evicted. I ended up having to live in a hotel for 2 years because no landlord would give me a chance. I finally found a slumlord who gave me a chance and I built my way back up from there. If it wasn't for that slumlord, I would still be in hotels. He was a slumlord but I am grateful for him.

My Eviction was descended in court so I can rent from somone at least but I'm Homeless Right Now during the Pandemic I can really relate Sorry to hear your going thru such a bad time in your life it will get better just got to keep the faith that you will find another Home soon for you and your Wife I will be praying for you both Good Luck and God Bless you both Stay Safe
