Judge strikes down CDC’s ban on evictions nationwide

So here we go... all those who spent their ‘stimulus’ money on toys instead of rent: your day of reckoning has now arrived.

Meh. The stimulus was what, $3200 at most? So that would cover two months of my mortgage. Someone in a cheap apartment, maybe five or six months. And it's been over a year since we had our two-week flattening the curve...

[Fury]

Agreed. Was disappointed that President Trump supported this action.

90% of the rental properties (apartments) in this metro area are owed by 12 Real Estate Investment companies. All of those companies are controlled by Chinese investors. Not noted for their forbearance. There are about 200,000 pending eviction notices which will be enforced as soon as moratoriums expire later this spring.

Denver?

All or most if the apartment complexes are owned/controlled by Communist Chinese investors as well…

2 months anywhere near Denver (and jobs), unless in a dangerous urban area around MLK Blvd.

I have a relative that sells apt complexes in the Philly area ... almost all Jews.

They did it in the name of “public health”. And you can see the same abuse in the form of the new head of the CDC whose main goal is banning guns under “public health and safety”.

Way too many people were out work for 6 months or more when their employers were shut down as a "non-essential business".

Unemployment and "stimulus" payments do not come even close to making up their losses. People at the low end of the economy are not going to catch up.

Government caused this. Government is making it worse by sponsoring massive inflation to pay for those "stimulus payments". Prices for everything have already started rising.

Does anyone have a link to the decision? Of course, they didn’t bother mentioning the case name either.

[zeugma]

Never mind. It was linked in the article itself.

Freaking insane.

They have no authority to ban eviction.

Even Trump should have never let this happen.

So it’s better that tens of millions of families become homeless?

And people here complain about the large homeless encampments in certain cities as it is.

And once evicted, it’s impossible to rent anywhere else (you get put on an eviction black list for 7 years).

This blacklist doesn’t have the same consumer credit protections as the FICO ones (no disputes allowed) and is run by the very same companies that run national credit scoring systems.

I do feel for the small landlord (although it was a 85-year-old skank that illegally evicted me for working from home and violating my lease (she would look into the house windows during the day at all her properties). I hope she died of coronavirus in this worst possible way.

Apartment Property Management Companies (eff them) are mostly foreign-owned (Communist Chinese or Indian). Who gives an elephant crap that they have to write off some of their investment?

Just wait for the judgements and wage garnishments. I’m betting a lot of people won’t return to work as they face a 25% wage garnishment for past due rent, as well as a bank garnishment (that can take all a debtors bank funds with no limit).

Unemployment money and stimulus money (the first two rounds) are judgement-proof.

At least in Denver, the scumbag property management companies have 2 numbers on speed-dial. One is their eviction lawyer, and the other one is a debt collection agency.

So people returning to work face trying to live on $217.50 a week, while landlords can take the rest. And also pay for new housing. So incessant whining about landlords not getting paid is false. It’s called a wage garnishment.

"Great post brother!"

Rather alarming though.

Sounds like perfect conditions for recruiting violent revolutionary cannon fodder. Which will be targeted at individuals who own a few rental properties.

The large apartment management companies have plenty of cash. They can afford the new fees, licences, taxes, and bribes to local officials or "community activists". They can afford private security forces. They can raise their rents, and/or collect Government subsidy payments. They will do quite well after they have evicted their non-paying tenants.

The Communist-led mobs will target individuals who cannot fight back.

Spoken like a true taker with a huge chip on their shoulder.

Nobody owes you or anyone else a thing.

Life happens.
