1. The movement to end the monopoly on homelessness existed well before this fake pandemic. . In fact this fake pandemic is now being used to send more people into housing debt. . .and therefore homelessness. . .and all because of the greed of the land lord's. . Just another tyrant class

2. Wow

3. Learn to save money.

4. These are the people who spent the stimulus check on a new phone instead of rent

5. Clearly almost nobody saved

6. Chaos in America?

7. Forbereance is a trap. You'll endup owing all the skipped months due your next pay date after it expires. They will still tank your credit making that forbereance remark which will drop you 40 points at least.

8. This quarantine wasn’t thought out properly.

9. Good luck on that cause any landlords I've encountered would never ever give anyone a break on rent ever for any reason at any time.

10. how's the owner going to make money if no one pays him or her rent he got to eat too

11. LANDLORD GET TO PAY MORGAGE TOO.

12. C’mon everyone! Let’s get that universal basic income that all the other non constitutional, “amazing countries” that have it. You think it’s “hard” now? You haven’t seen anything yet. God bless all Americans I don’t care what “side” you believe in.

13. I work at an auto loan company and most of my customers have not even received unemployment and stimulus checks. Most have lost their jobs or had their hours decreased.

14. Pay rent steal food

15. Don’t pay the rent, watch me not pay the bank too!

16. Crazy. Who is going to pay the owner’s mortgage. Ridiculous.

17. China should pay for this chaos.

18. responsible people should have a min of 6 months of monthly expenses for an emergency. While this has not always been the case for me I can survive about 3 months without a job. I live below my means and buy things used to save money as possible. Unfortunately, not everyone is like this and do not have money saved up in case of an emergency. When the economy does open we will have a massive crash. People who owe rent will prefer to get evicted rather than pay several thousand in back rent. Americans will not go out to shop and will attempt to work as much overtime as possible in a slow economy. I hate my security job but as an essential worker, every dollar I make is one more someone else does not have. Cancel rent put a freeze on mortgages and tell credit card companies to stop.

19. Government doesn't allow you to work government should pay all bills

20. All because a out of control government that want people dependent not independent

21. We need two thousand a month stimulus check.

22. All you broke bums always looking for handouts. No, you idiots aren't getting free rent. Come up with the money or move out!

    during a stay at home pandemic

    but this is the least of my worries

    my #1 priority is making soul think more thoughts than he can make me think

    it's all we know….

27. Struggling to pay tent but not struggling to spend stimulus check on flat screen TV

28. Why don’t they just buy their own houses then if they don’t want to rent?

29. lol my grandma worked at united airlines and got fierd and the she bought a house

30. know the law. at the end if you don't pay your rent, you will be evict onto the streets and become homeless.

31. its very easy to unit poor people. just tell them how the wealthy screw them every day.

32. Yet people are protesting about reopening beaches. These folks are trying to live.

33. My parents are working but I think they're getting sick and I'm worried about there health and I feel like if they keep going they may die.. they pay rent to the bank all they said was if they can't pay now next month they'll have to pay twice as much… How is that fair at all. They can pay twice as much. There won't be good for the family. What do I do I'm worried.

34. I pray everyone’s bills and utilities get paid this is 😞

35. Cancel rent…so who should shoulder/responsible for that? Bankers you said? Who behind the bankers?

36. Imagine landlords asking for rent during hurricane Katrina

37. Everyone should be paid for unemployment, for those who who works make savings accounts with the same rate.

38. Rent waivers should only be considered if someone is unemployed or sick. Lot's of people wanting to strike are still working , PLUS they are getting stimulus checks.
    Yet they want to join a rent strike "In solidarity". Bullsh*t. Landlords still have to pay mortgages, insurance, utilities, repairs.
    If landlords are now unemployed, they are getting no income to pay for this stuff without rent.
