@@mayam7912 no job no rent?? Unemployment giving out money. Plus stimulus check. On avg there are 2 adults per house hold. EACH person can get minimum of $1000 a month from unemployment. That's NOT counting the extra 300 a week, or the stimulus check. So everyone should be able to pay their rent. If you did not notice that Gavin newsom signed a bill in JAN of 2021 to extend renters from not having to pay rent. But her also signed "if any owners lose their home That the state of California has the 1st option to buy that property" soo what you think that plan was for?
Why do you think there’s a mass exodus out of California. Higher taxes are coming here in Cali. We need to get this Criminal Governor out of office here in California.
Its simple math the government pays you 80% and you forgive 20% instead he rather loss, instead of letting the government pay him 80% and just to forgive the 20%. They owe $17,000, 80% of $17,000 is $13,600 the government is paying the landlord out meaning he would only lose out on $3,400 come on be serious he preferred to lose $70,000 on his sale rather than just letting the government pay him 80% of the rent and losing out on $3,400
The government pays 80% of back rent if the landlord applies for it. The tenant has to apply for the housing grant to cover the other 20%. I have no idea why they refused to apply for it?
@@cedarwho7 is it true that government pays them back 80%? If that is true no landlord should complain and pretend they are getting hurt ! 80 % is good enough on this difficult time , is not like they are gonna get more by renting to another one !
@@yoshi450gmail that's why I was surprised! That's why I said ,is it true? Well nothing is right in all this ! Even selling the property isn't a option, they don't pay ,they don't move ,they don't care what landlord is facing!
that sh!t didn't fly here in Texas or least the area i lived in and the ones i heard that tried to use covid and was 3 months behind the judge gave them 3 days to move out instead of the normal month
I practiced law in California when I first passed the CA bar. I was an associate so the partners would give me the tenant/landlord cases. It was ridiculous how long and what amount of work went into evicting people. Meanwhile, they trashed the property and paid no rent. I moved to Texas and found out you can evict someone for the slightest problem, like paying your rent a week late. The Constable goes out and physically evicts the tenants.
@@cme2025 You should do some research. It rains one day and hot the next…in most of the world. I have never seen a hurricane or tornado. But no one’s telling you to move to Texas!

In this age where pensions are rare and not everyone has a job that offers a 401k, being a “mom and pop” landlord is one of the only ways to prepare for retirement and build wealth. Most individual landlords have only one or two properties. Absolutely not right that the government is placing this burden on individuals . They should be paying the rents. Many tenants have collected the stimulus and consistent unemployment but still are jot paying their rent because they know they don’t have to . How is that not fucked up ?
@@mikechav2938 It is messed up but when you say the government should be paying you mean taxpayers like me. I have been paying my rent in full and ontime but I should have to pay others. If people didn't vote in these clowns maybe things wouldn't have gotten so bad.
What they did to renters was just wrong. I didn’t have a job for 6 months when Covid happened and I paid my rent every month. In my head there were NO other options. I could never do that to someone regardless of what the temporary protections were

Exactly my point too people have gotten more money being unemployed so how can they not pay rent to these homeowners who have to make there house payments ? So not fair
@@butch420cassidy4 How can they not do that? The cost of doing business has gone up exponentially for them, and their risk is out of sight. To avoid skyrocketing rents, the government would have to do two things: guarantee the landlord a fair return on his/her property, and remove the risk of default by the renter, i.e., pick up the tab for deadbeats. Sadly, this is unlikely to happen until all rental properties are gobbled up by hedge funds, screwing small landlords. Then, of course, government will kow-tow to big business.
Wow. People taking advantage of landlords. I worked the whole way through COVID. I nevered stoped paying my landlord. Single parent. There are jobs out there people!!
As a 65 year old who grew up with parents who owned rentals I can say this: NEVER be a landlord! It is nothing but problems. This latest "policy" is this, in its raw form: "Landlords MUST provide FREE housing to renters". As that man says in the video, what other industry is forced, by law to provide their goods or services FREE to the public?
O, you are so right. Others I worked with were landlords and they told me about their headaches with problem renters and indifference of law enforcement and municipal government. What a way to try to make a buck.
OK so you can pay your rent. What about those who cannot pay their rent? I.e. A Covid-19 furloughed single mother with 3 toddlers. CHAP will pay her rent. And if she can't or won't apply to CHAP the landlord can apply directly. Hey let's evict her so her and her 3 kids can live in her car in your driveway you short sighted Dweeb(s)
@@rgcwow no...if she is getting unemployment 600$ a week, is 2400 a month...if her rent is 1000 a month...she should pay half the rent which would only be 500$ out of the 2400$...some people are just greedy...and some landlords are greedy by raising the rent on tenant's this crisis.

@@punker4Real well no one forced them to exploit human need for shelter. No One forced them to get used to having money while doing nothing to earn it. Landlords did this to themselves.

Oh but it is. The grand standing bullying governing authorities don’t care, the local courts are in collusion . I know from 1st hand experience. But notice all mortgages utilities & tax bills weren’t put on hold due to Covid As, I encourage all mom & pop landlords going forward, if you can finally get a reprieve from these bullies you might be better off holding onto your property & not renting it out. Ex. Appreciation of the property vs loss rent, utilities and repairs They’ve made it to easy for the crooks to beat you.
Out here in California the people who reflect the mindset of our state government leaders think only of the “poor” renters. They shouldn’t have to get kicked out! How can they pay? With covid. But... What about the property owners like this retiree? What’s he supposed to do?
When July comes, democrats will just extend it for another 6 months. There doesn’t seem to be a brain in congress or a light at the end of the tunnel. The government should have sent payments directly to landlords as part of the stimulus.
I think the banks are not being all that helpful in this either. Commercial real estate has collected every month, too. A larger part of small restaurant closures. I hope counties are working with folks as property tax bills go out.
It’s irrelevant whether the renters have new cars or not - the crux is that the Government has mandated that the rent that people pay now does not have to be paid because of hardship - they have only provided for one side of the equation- the new hardship created by this mandate on the landlords is simply not addressed. The people who depend on the rent to pay for the home being used by the renters and to live are now in additional hardship created by a poorly conceived and unfunded government mandate masquerading as humanitarianism. This is why government needs more leaders who are not only compassionate but have business sense as well

Sorry folks, if you think that banks are going to have a stock pile of house. They reached out to a majority of mortgage holders and extended their loans up to 40 years if they're behind. So it's a crazy time. Banks learned from 2008 ‐ 2011 housing bubble crash. They still get money and owners still have their house.
That's terrible! They couldn't even at least say "Sir I apologize for being behind, but here's at least half?" Nothing for eleven months? That's absolutely horrible and so unfair.
@@V.E.R.O. that’ll hurt their credit for at least 10 years and it’ll show up on background checks if their job or the next landlord does a check. Which, honestly, everyone should do.

I think many people took advantage of this. I’m a renter and would never dream of doing this to my landlord. Number one because it’s stealing and two because he is the most amazing and nicest old man anyone would be lucky to have as a landlord. Shame on those people for stealing from that man.
I know it is a two year old post but I agree. I was living in a duplex at the time and I suspect the couple who lived in the unit next to ours was stiffing everyone, not just the property owner but also the utility and gas companies. I got information by accident because it was a normal error to get our unit numbers cris-crossed because of the quirky way things were done in that city, and I would have to tell someone "that is the other unit" or put the long overdue bill into their mailbox, to keep it vague as possible. In a very dark twist, the thing that got them out was literal death; one of them was taken to the hospital from an illness and died there, so the other one finally moved out.
They should have been paying something all along... The problem is that the federal assistance was limited enough to make people feel they had to choose between food and rent. Once you decide not to pay, it's seductively easy to keep not paying. Foolish, but easy. SMH,
No one expected the 🌎 to shut down an almost everyone to lose jobs.Alot of us that lost jobs were denied unemployment with 3 kids & NOT 1 job offer since June.Most people didnt have savings when this started like myself & I dropped all non essential bills aug 2019.A survery said majority of savings for just essential Bills only lasted a half of month to 3 months.
The goverment DID NOT tell tenants to stop paying rent. Most tenants continued with the obligations of the tenancy agreement. Those that did not, were always going to take advantage.
They did that here too. We had a moratorium on evictions, but I kept paying may rent. I signed an agreement, and I did not lose my job. Neighbors thought they didn't have to so they spent the money like they won the lottery. I warned several of them that this was a huge mistake and will haunt them financially for the rest of their life. After it was over, they were all evicted with huge debt with their credit destroyed. Try finding an apartment with an eviction on your record -- good luck. Some people are so freaking dumb it's gobsmacking.
At the end of 2021 I left Austin TX and ended up landing in southern Georgia. My new landlord said it was a big positive that I had kept paying the rent going through Covid in Austin.
Oh those poor landlords! Controlling other people's lives. Constantly harassing them every single month with ridiculously high rent prices.

So let me get this straight. Students want to be forgiven for over a TRILLION in debt that THEY SIGNED up for but landlords aren't receiving any compensation from the same government that put them in this position in the first place?? HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE
And if the owners ever sell for any profit on their investment they get screwed by high taxes unless they do a 10-20 exchange and reinvest in another property.
Once you understand that it's not about 'protecting people' but about buying votes, it makes plenty of sense. It's all a numbers game, identifying a transaction type (Student Loan, Rent), how many people are on either side of it, and giving the Larger Number of People a freebie on the backs of the Smaller Number of People. With the expectation that the Larger Number of People will vote for you in future elections. Student Borrowers greatly outnumber Lenders. Tenants greatly outnumber Landlords. What complicates Student Loan Forgiveness is the fact the government has taken over that business, so people are waking up to the fact it is the taxpayer, ie THEM, who will be getting stuck with the bill.

Therein lies the problem. Free money + moratorium = problem. I would be ok with the courts hearing and ruling on the evictions and then staying the removal until the moratorium ends. But at least with a lawful eviction ordered by the courts the landlords could get a deferral from the lender. They could handle the taxes as those are manageable costs (add to the court judgment of course).

As a landlord I would like to give you some insight on what to do if you're in this predicament or want to force someone to move. ALWAYS STAY WITHIN THE LAW. Start a never ending construction project on the house. Replace the ceiling drywall to the entire house. Ask the laborers to only work on the project two days out of the week and for a few hours at a time. The noise, the dust, the amount of foot traffic in the house will drive anyone mad and will force them to start looking for a freeway underpass to call home. I learned this method from my mentor in San Francisco when a rent control tenant did not want to move out voluntarily. This method is so much cheaper than to pay someone to move or carry a liability.
If the government wants to help tenants who can’t pay their rent, the government needs to send that money directly to the landlord, because the tenants obviously have other priorities than a roof over their head!
So you don't know a thing about the tenant, who probably lost work or has less work and you automatically side with the landlord because he gives you a sob story. The guy owns a house outright, he's not hurting. If he has a mortgage, he can easily negotiate with his mortgage company.
I was wondering about that. I'm a landlord, thank goodness my tenant paid rent throughout the pandemic, if not I would have lost my house too. It's totally unfair.
@Rookie Dump Curious, how do you know Kendal doesn't have a job or is retired & depends on that income? Also, do you honestly believe being a landlord doesn't come with expenses? Upkeep, water, sewer, taxes & often "all utilities". Kendal stated "my tenant", as in 1 tenant. Why should Kendal or any landlord be forced to pay the living expenses of strangers? How about you move out of your home / apartment, continuing paying your mortgage / rent, possibly all your utilities, any & all costs for upkeep & then allow strangers to move in rent free. ;)
If they is Republicans then yeah, your right. That's why they gave out 3 stimulus checks under Trump. Trump wanted everyone dependent on the government so the rug would be pulled out from them later
