13. If an employer said they are suspending your paycheck for 3 months

but still expected you to show up for work every day for 8 hours, no one would stand for it. Yet landlords are expected to do the same.

At least if a mortgage holder, car dealer, student loan holder,or utility company suspends payments for a time period, they will just extend the length of the loan or add it to your balance, so you still end up having to pay eventually. Rent forgiveness is different because the landlord is expected to just be SOL, and the renter never has to pay for those months.

Besides, if people truly lost their job and can't pay, aren't they covered with the expanded unemployment that was just passed and able to pay their rent?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
