Mom and pop landlords?
You mean citizens trying to make a living by simply owning something? How dare they not be able to make money by doing nothing?
This is everyone's reality if your not living it your seeing it. There is no such thing as security in life anymore. Our life's can change at any time. Many people rent and moving in with someone has to also be approved by landlord and usually the rent increases and apts only have so much space. Open your eyes and hearts and help in any way you can. Pray none stop and be grateful for what resources you do have. Gods love, your Health, family, friends, compassion, commen sence. When you've done everything right and everything goes wrong there's only one answer. Pray give it to god and keep your faith for him to make any situation better.
Her unemployment benefits is not enough to pay rent what is going on in that city
Wow she may have payed off the mortgage for the landlord, if she lived in the house for 10 years paying rent she payed off the mortgage but because she payed rent she is not the owner
Its really sad what the people of US are going through and the government refuses to help.
Any update on the 70 year old woman, Lynette, in January 2021?
Good I got lost of money waiting for . housing to hit rock bottom so I can buy a few.people will pay all this crazy high rent & mortgage.the only way things going to get cheaper is for the market to out price it self . As long as people can pay there pay throw the nose now that millions can't pay.& Going to be homeless for a while good let millions of apt & House's set empty for a few years.i bet Price's will start coming down.so if you know u can't pay rent move out don't get that eviction on your record.hey if millions of people liven on the streets it will become more normal.& After a year are so landlord will start hurting & drop there Price's.& Don't except there Price's if there's asking for 800 a month tell them no but you give them 600.but it's only going to work if millions do this .but if people still break weak & pay whatever the landlord s.ask .it not going to work. & If you still looking for. The government & state to save you lol 😂🤣😂 lol 😂🤣. Hey there's a empty bench over there lol 😂🤣😂.
Covid is turning into further class suppression for low wage workers
Corporations making billions but their employees are earning $8-10 an hr
Keeping folks in debt and on shoe strings makes us all serfs
Sad to see a fellow Slipknot fan in this predicament 😰

Yeah sure rent sucks but you cant straight up cancel rent.
When I lost my job in 2005 my unemployment benefits payed my mortgage and utilities and put food on the table.where ever the place this people lives and unemployment benefits was not enough to pay rent must be living in hell
Capitalism is really not the best.
2200.00 a month unbelievable she can buy a house with the monthly mortgage less than 2200.she is paying off the mortgage that someone else owns and putting a lump sum in their pockets every month.
We have been going through this way before the pandemic ..its just worst now !
There are so many people who are enjoying the way things are right now.
in my country eviction is not allowed at this time of C19, in the land of the brave and the not so free dog eat dog ðŸÂ©
They don't have money to pay their rent but they got money to buy firearms big screen TVs and drive BMWs and go to the food bank in they're $60,000 trucks I see it all the time in my town
ALCOHOLIC judges are going to wash their hands and seal their own fate…saying "I was just doing my job".
Seriously judges, you know where many of you are headed.
What about the home owners? Are they supposed to support the renters until the end of coronavirus? This is crazy
My tenant refuse to pay rent, an she refuse to allow me to inspect my property, I was trying to sale the 5 bedroom house, she have 9 people residing in to my property, I call the policemen to assistance me to inter the property, to no avail, this will keep me from clear of harassment, I tried to sale the house my self, she remove the sale sign three time, I just have to wait on the eviction ban are lifted, she are the most arrogance, conniving , person I have ever met
They've been ordering people to house other people for free until they're bankrupted.
Eventually all these small/middle class landlords are going to drop out/sell, and all the nation's rental property will end up in the hands of big banks and a few billionaires.
Worst thought out plan, ever. Or best, depending on who is looking at it…..
I got evicted. 😵 2018.
Your race card has been declined. WWG1WGA
Cancel rent? How delusional! House owners also have to pay expenses and usually have to follow strict financing plans with monthly installments. It's not up to them to stop the rents but to the banks and money institutes or politicians to react to the crisis. Otherwise a lot of home owners will just join the rest of the people on the street with the banks repossessing houses. Nothing gained from that but more folks out on their own.
Cancel rent? gtfo xD
Lord have mercy, why aren't there government laws and relief for all in the USA BECAUSE IF THERE'S NO HELP MOST OF AMERICA WILL BE LOST, COVID WILL HAVE SPREAD AND KILLED SO MANY OF US BECAUSE WE WILL BECOME HOMELESS, DIRTY, THIRSTY, HUNGRY, CHILDREN UNHEALTHY AND WANTING TO GO HOME TO A PLACE WE CAN NEVER GO BACK TO, HOW WILL WE SURVIVE, HOW WILL WE EVEN GET BACK TO WHERE WE WERE ABOUT TO ADVANCE TO BE IN A BETTER PLACE THAN THAT? WHY WONT YOU PROVIDE HOUSING FOR THOSE THAT ARE HOMELESS NOW, FORGET ABOUT HOUSING LISTS THAT ARE SO FULL THEY HAVE DECADE LONG WAITING, LETS GET RID OF ALL IF THIS BY BEING ABLE TO BUILD HOUSING!!! LET US CITIZENS OF THE USA HELP EACH OTHER TO BUILD THEM SO WE ALL WILL HAVE A SAFE PLACE TO CALL HOMES!!!! THISd IS A DISASTER LIKE NO OTHER THAT WILL AFFECT ALL THATS LIVING AND GENERATIONS TO COME, WE HAVE TO SEE THAT AMERICANS STUCK TOGETHER AND HELPED ONE ANOTHER TO BUILD THEIR HOMES AND EVEN SCHOOLS AND DAYCARES AND CREATED PROGRAMS AND HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAMS WITH PEOPLE WHO TRULY LOVE TO HELP PEOPLE TO HELP ONE ANOTHER SO THAT WE CAN RISE ABOVE THESE ASHES AND MOVE ON TO VICTORY!!!!
Why Smith's/Kroger/publix/WalMart are not giving free foods to those who lost their jobs during Pandemic??
Just a thought..
I might need to look up the meaning of RENT in Dictionary..
You can't say "CANCEL RENT" while you are living out of other people's properties..
You can't pay, you can't stay..
I'm sorry but the truth is "it is what it is"..
hahahahah enjoyed life a little to much the american who don't understand saving.
THESE IDIOTS ARE STILL PROTESTING?? WTF IS WRONG WITH THEM?? WHEN WILL IT END??!!!
Build own home buy land
Instead of paying people straight up money pay there rent and bills i think would be more fair soo people know the money is being good used
This is a really depressing time in America, not only is getting worst by the day, but getting worst in the long run…
How can the richest country in the world have a defense budget of around $500 to around $700 billion a year but have no money to help out the ones who are struggling right now?
😥ðŸ™ÂÂ
Why can't we just have a one sided government? Why the hell do we gotta have two sides arguing for the "best" of america if one sides just gonna be greedy and uncooperative?
70 years old? Shouldn't you be drawing social security?
people renting places they can't afford
The republican way, Israel with still get $3 billion in military aid.
Many people didn't think this could happen to us, but it did, and it's only going to get worst. Next is famine, we all need to prepare ourselves. We must put our trust in God not in man. Trust him and he will make a way out of no way….
Us Government 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Wait a minute the 70 yr old lady has children??? Then I am very confused. Why can't they take her in??? She said her kids take her shopping right?
the US strictly follows its policy " the rich will be added, the poor will be punished. "
When they get done it will only be the rich and the poor
Omg 😱 this is too sad 😢
I wish people will just look into a small teardrop from hiker trailer they are very affordable under $3,000 . I wish she should of used her savings and just got her self a tiny trailer only because she is alone and just her 😟
There should be a maximum wage & a higher minimum wage. Billionaires are hoarding money that people need to live.
Praise *GOD! I KNOW AMERICA CAN FIX THIS! 🎯
This woman does not look 70. She looks around 50.
