I’m a landlady in California and I have many tenants. They rent rooms from me in a very large house. I also live in the house.
The house is big and quiet and I never have any trouble. My tenants are excellent tenants. They always pay their rent on time.
But, with the coronovirus outbreak and Governor Gavin Newsom telling anyone to shelter in place, businesses are closing and tenants are losing their jobs.
What will happen if tenants can’t pay their rent?
I have asked my senator for assistance for my tenants but the word is perhaps the assistance will go to the tenants and not the landlord. What assurance is there the assistance will go to pay the rent? There is also a bill afoot to keep landlords from evicting anyone.
What will I do? I have a mortgage to pay. Taxes. Insurance. Utilities. . . .
I have also lost my source of income.
How long will this go on?
What will be the outcome?
Is the government setting up a scenario whereby we fail and tenant is set against landlord?
If I’m fully responsible but completely blocked from solving problems and surviving, what terrible dynamics may be created?
This is the stuff of science fiction.
Or is it?
No, it’s California where we know our leaders want a poor economy and socialism.
Are the democrats using the coronavirus outbreak to break us?
