Lets chat about Kamala Harriss' RELIEF Act bill.

[Suzy Sevier]

Today she posted, "I announced the RELIEF Act, a bill to ban evictions and foreclosures for renters and homeowners for a year—and prohibit landlords from raising the rent during this health and economic crisis. Housing is a human right. It’s time we treated it like one."

"The legislation, which Harris plans to introduce next week, would ban evictions and foreclosures for a year while giving tenants up to 18 months to pay back missed payments. The current federal ban on evictions — which only covers the roughly 1 in 4 rental units in the country with a federally backed mortgage — expires July 24."

As long as the legislation offers relief to landlords, I would be on board.  The US economy is being decimated by COVID-19, I am on board to help my tenants but hope that the government realizes that being a landlord does not equate to unlimited cash to pay my mortgage and keep up with maintenance on the building.
