i agree ,for most it is the way they spend.i have witness over the years too.sure their are some that are experiencing problems with paying their rent.but most tenants i have to help with payment plans are because the government is behind the 8 ball.for alot of them are mostly having problem getting their unemployment checks and starting the process.took one tenant 3 weeks to just get ahold of a person to activate their claim.this is what the government should be working on.but their are some that just blow you off about payment plans or workouts.them are the ones we should be allowed to evict.have 2 tenants set to receive gov help for full rent,they were just to lazy to go the appt with gov person.lucky was able to evict just intime.my vent is if gov wants to help,get nancy out the beauty salon and back to washington for housing vouchers.and the worst she blames the beauty salon owner.she only wants to open her business like most of the country.you think these gov officials would realize why people are leaving calf before its to late to save their state.
