They're jot monsters for trying to keep their incomes. I have friends who are landlords that have lost their income for months in NY - the government needs to help BOTH tenants and landlords. We can't keep sacrificing one group for another or pitting us against each other - we all need the help of our government. I think the best landlords and tenants are working together to get through this. We help ourselves when we help others. I am hoping (because I have to) that we will soon have a leader that will lead us out of this darkness (or give us the resources to find our way out.)<br /><br />Sassybear<br />www.idleeyesandadormy.com Breenlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317914861018120156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16253353.post-2811131526030247002020-12-12T18:52:45.966-05:002020-12-12T18:52:45.966-05:00Like Sharon I too don't know what to do.Like Sharon I too don't know what to do.

When he heard I was laid off, he told me to pay what I can, which is very affordable already...one reason I have stayed so long , 20 years. Since going in to the pandemic I was pretty well set, specially since the three big trips were canceled. But I have several friends, on the reverse side.... on the verge of total collapse.

Good income support over the year nearly past may have been a good thing to do by governments. Ultimately if people are dispossessed of their home and landlords are never paid is a loss loss situation. It would be unfair on many who have paid even though they have struggled but ultimately keeping people in their home is best on the whole, and if that means a negotiated loss of some income for landlords, then so be it.
