Why the fuck aren't we doing a mortgage/property tax freeze?

"We're done playing by the rules"

^I stopped reading there. What does that even mean

---

let's be fair.

Suspend evictions. People need a place to live.

But the landlords should get a paycheck every month for the same dollar amount of the money they didn't perceive in rent, it's only fair.

Whoops

Greed

honestly i don't disagree here, tenants are living for free, landlords are stuck paying all the bills, and a lot of landlords are just people trying to make a living who depend on tenants. Yeah the situation sucks for everyone. I don't disagree with people not paying rent, they need all the money they can get. But we also need to provide that same relief for landlords. I know they were looking into some kind of fund or something

I do feel a property tax is is warranted and should happen, but a mortgage, hmmm... The idea of overleveraged landlords crushed under the weight of their AirBnb investments is quite appealing.

---

Yeah, if they have to keep paying mortgages on the properties as well as taxes, something's gotta give.

---

fucking evil HELLSPAWNS

---

Fuck em

---

shouldn't they have a 6 month emergency fund for situations like this?

And what about people who own one home and live in it and lost their job? Why suspend rent and not mortgage? Makes no sense

The objective is to see to a housing collapse so that rent prices won't be so astronomically high. The Pandemic has proven Airbnb has directly inflating housing prices. As such, I will accept innocents getting caught in the crossfire. I suppose I am open to rent control to protect the innocents.

They knew all the risks about managing real estate properties fuck em

---

I hope they all do go bankrupt

---

I saw a post on my facebook feed about getting support for a mortgage and rent freeze

And some lady was posting "well I'm not okay with that because my mortgage is very low and I need the extra income from rent"

and I'm just like :|

---

I feel like a very high percentage of people with an extreme hatred of landlords are probably nightmare tenants.

Everything should be state owned to prevent and ensure the best living situations

Maybe they should manage their money better and not live paycheck to paycheck.

---

I mean there is a degree of truth to the situation they're in, I do believe the whole "eat the landlords!" crowd has always been insane.

The problem lies with the people who are taking advantage and deliberately not paying rent, hoping it just goes away for a few months.

---

landlords deserve a reasonable amount of pay per month.
kinda glad there's me and a couple other tenants who can continue paying (despite the crisis).

though there's rent protection until july but i wouldn't want to use it (landlord has to make money too).

The bottom line is the economic state of emergency is the way to go

The way to go

To go go go go

and the post was about "they don't have money? the solution is to get some!" which is just as derp when applied to landlords as to anybody

that. is. the. point.

it's a dumbass thing to say to someone struggling. that poster is directing it at landlords because landlords are parasites and he rightfully feels no sympathy, and turned something around on them

The tenants are required to pay the money back within some period of time after the freezes end. If a landlord was living beyond their means well... Let the tenants take over the lease or something.

this again.

So if the landlords were living beyond their means, then what?

I'm not talking about the huge rental companies nationwide that build cookie cutter buildings and rent them out, I am talking about the regular people who rent a 2nd or 3rd property for income, this is not sticking it to "the man".

the GOP's greatest hit was convincing poor and lower middle class people that upper middle class and moderately wealthy people are "the man" and deserve scorn, while the millionaires and corporations get praise and love.

Landord of a house? FUCK YOU RICH SCUM! NO RENT HAHAHAHA
Airlines, restaurant chains? AWWWWW POOR U HERE'S A MILLION DOLLAR LOANS AND SOME OTHER FEW MILLIONS IN GRANTS, GET WELL SOON.

the position is not functionally different. all landlords are exploiting a basic human need for profit

i'm sure all the poor struggling people care about a bunch of rich NYC building owners

---

I wonder what would happen if all these landlords do go under.

They'll probably start doing illegal things and commit crimes.

imagine giving a shit about landlords

Oh, your "business" exploiting the universal human need for shelter isnt working so sell right now? THE HORROR

M_Live posted...

Rent prices in NY are absolutely disgusting anyway. I'm still paying rent, and thankfully my landlords are decent people, but I really don't sympathize with the necessary evil of being a landlord

Because it's not a necessary evil. Don't buy up more property than you need to live just so you can exploit the human need for shelter. Landlords are the reason rent is so fucking high in NY. They buy up properties, create an artificial "housing shortage" to justify rent being skyhigh (and then get a sweet tax write off on the ones that don't get rented).
Buy the property you need to live and then get a real fucking job.

This basically.

Keep in mind most landlords are like just a guy who owns only two properties, lives in one, and rents out the other to pay the mortgage on the one he lives in.

Now the guy he's renting to doesn't have to pay and can't be evicted but he be still needs to pay his bank who isn't anywhere near as negotiable as a landlord.

Airlines don't need a fucking bailout. Airlines should just furlough all their employees and have the government pay their employees directly with stimulus checks.

most mortgage processors are already accepting deferrals of mortgage payments as COVID-19 relief

so these folks are just mad that they're also subject to the pinch

Yes because landlords feel that their investments should somehow be immune to market forces because housing is a standard human need.

"Yeah, I was charging 2000+/month for studio apartments, but why wont you help meeee?"

Fuck landlords, ESPECIALLY New York ones

If they do, they'll be almost a third of the way through it right now.
