All the JOPs around town are granting them.

The lovely judge I’ve been assigned in city court is not. Maybe if I were a different color, but I sat and watched her tell people who had already had the residents skip that if they come back they have to let them in. None of mine are violating in any way other than nonpayment

I’m struggling with Brent’s story. He’s $25k/mo short on a 24 unit apartment on Burbank? His tenants are likely abusing him, but I suspect that complex was unprofitable long before covid.

Yeah. I honestly didn't realize that there was still a moratorium on evictions; I thought that was a local deal only. I know the stimulus voter bribes and/or unemployment aren't enough for most responsible working adults to live off of, but if you combine that with fricking over the landlord....that's a completely different story.

Historically a problem in BR.

I know landlords who got told to frick off on an eviction because there was unrepaired damage to the residence. Said damage came AFTER the person was in arrears and the landlord owned other properties, prioritizing paying renters before that bitch.

Are we supposed to feel bad for the slum lords that turned Burbank to a shithole ?

Good luck selling an apartment complex when you freely admitted tenants aren't paying rent and you can't evict them. Watch the tenants try to sue the owner when they have to leave because the complex gets foreclosed on.

If he had a Conventional loan, he's likely out of luck. If he had an FHA loan they will allow forbearance and defer or do a workout/loss mitigation plan to avoid foreclosure. ( HAMP has reared its ugly head once again)

I would think the Conventional loan will do loss mitigation as well, it's a standard practice in late-stage collections to avoid foreclosure. It would seem nearly every bank should have some sort of workaround in this situation. After all, they've known this was coming for about a year.

If not, we are in for a world of hurt on the Conventional side, ( which is a smaller number of loans, most are FHA) but still bad nonetheless.

You can kiss all of your "quick equity" goodbye that you've made in the last year.

Yep.

No rent makes unemployment with the Fed bonus very livable.

Yes, in theory, and yes it sucks. The awful truth is that the freeloaders have probably ruined his credit to such a degree that he can't get a loan.

What’s worse though, is even when property owners do get to finally evict these people for non payment, and you know they aren’t going to be able to come up with 10-20 K on the spot, is that they still have to lease them up again, and before they do that, they’re going to have to paint, change/clean flooring, fix punch out lists to make ready. There’s a lot of extra money that will be required on top of all this just to get these units ready to lease again. BUT nobody thought of that either when they had these grandiose ideas of paying people to stay home.


Also, a large segment of the population that is homeless overnight. It will hit areas like Baton Rouge very hard, as most people were on the edge financially, to begin with.

When they were given enough money to live for the first time in years, they did what many would do. They bought clothes, got medical care, had a real Christmas, - and that money rolled into our local economy. For this reason, our economy looks as if it is rebounding, but it's not. It is just inflated by all of the freebies that are now gone.

We are about to get the truth about our economy, and I can almost guarantee you that it's not pretty.

I believe during the last housing crisis we bailed out the banks. I would expect the same this go around.
