Gonna be a hot summer. Housing courts gonna be packed
My coworker told me a story about having to evict someone from her rental property in Atlanta… goddamn the story she told made me never want to be a landlord. It’s hard as hell to get these motherfukkers out. She said the courtroom was packed single mothers and their kids telling the judge they didn’t have anywhere else to go.

If your paperwork ain’t right you gotta start all over, if the sheriff don’t serve them the right way you gotta start all over, can’t get a court date until months later but you gotta keep paying the mortgage and power bill while they sit up in your property mooching off you.


Edit: America could do better.

The amount of money available at the bottom end of the economy, even with stimulus, was obviously much less for many people than it would have been without the pandemic. There was zero chance that additional people were going to be in danger of eviction. You gotta be blind if you don't see that.

And I was responding to the claim that landlords had no help from the government during the pandemic. That was simply a false claim.

It was still a matter of "kicking the can down the road" as the government has no long term solution to the problem that's going on now. It was only a matter of time before a judge completely struck down that eviction, so you would think that they would have been discussing a solution to the problem. Yet they haven't and now here we are.

They don't have a solution to the problem.

Yeah, I live in NYC and my boy has some brownstones that he rents out as apartment buildings. It's a fukking nightmare.

I'm not sure why you aren't reading what I already wrote. The solution was right there. Sign a deal between the tenant and the government to cover 70-80% of back rent, forgive the rest and move on.

That's been out there for a good bit and is the best deal you're gonna get.

That's why I'm always saying man, this country is WAY too easy on poor black folk who can't pay their bills. If there's one country I'd want to live in as a poor black person in danger of eviction, it's America.

1. If that solution was out there for everybody, then you wouldn't have millions of people at risk of being evicted.

2. If they end up getting behind on rent, then they're going to eventually end up being evicted anyways.

3. That doesn't help people that have already been evicted (when the previous moratoriums expired) and have an eviction on their credit and can't find anyone else that will take them in.

It's a losing battle in the end as you're going to end up having people get evicted regardless how much you try and prevent it. Unfortunately, that's just how it works. The same thing is going to happen with student loans as the government is not going to help offset all loses, so it will only be a matter of time before people default.

The root and cause of the problem is still going to be there even if you forgive a percentage of what's owed and the problem is going to come back into the fold years down the road. That's why I say that the government has no true solution to the problem outside of throwing money at it.

All other expenses go in the bushes in an emergency in my book.. To me, nothing is more important than food and housing..
Car notes
hospital bills
cable bills
college loans
etc..

They all got to wait.. If I got unemployment and stimulus money, my housing is 1st on the agenda..


You gonna get negged. Personal responsibility is not allowed on the Coli
