Lawmakers in Sacramento are poised to extend statewide eviction protections beyond the end of June to ensure emergency rental aid reaches struggling tenants in time to cover potentially all of their unpaid rent during the pandemic, a move strongly backed by local renter advocates and met with resistance by many landlords. The underlying issue is that state and county governments have been slow to distribute the $2.6 billion in federal funds to cover back rent. In Sonoma County, officials have so far disbursed less than 10% of the $32 million set aside for its rental aid program. Renter advocates fear

Thus lesson number 1 on why taxpaying Americans are fleeing the Communist State of California in record numbers.

The moratorium will be extended to ensure that Navin Gruesom survives the re-call.

Wow. Free everything in California if you are not a landlord or home owner. I'm sure that the illegals are included, of course.

I haven't taken the time to research this and it sounds as if both the state and counties are both making up rules as they go. But why wouldn't a landlord just keep raising the rent every month? No maximum rent is mentioned. If the state will pay it why should the tenant or the landlord care as the cost rises?
And does that money the landlord supposedly must 'forgive' -article mentions 20%- really exist at all? If it exists where is it? The tenant doesn't have it, the landlord doesn't have it, and the state doesn't pay it. So does it exist?

My son was injured three years ago. For the past year, we've lived on my social security alone, but we always paid rent and cut costs elsewhere. No don't live in California but I know people here who didn't pay rent so I guess it's happened everywhere. I feel it's a personal failure on my part to not pay rent. So far we have managed but there were days I didn't think we would. He's getting better and should be financially sound soon. What saved us was no credit card debt.

This has been labeled the "Vagrant Enablement Act of 2021".

Antebellum slaves had free room and board; except they had to work for it. But they would NOT have voted to extend their slave masters' ownership and control over them. This is somewhat different. Call it Slavery 2.0.---this time it's permanent.

How can addicted Californians pay for cocaine, fentanyl, and meth, habits if they must instead pay rent? If the customers of the dope dealers all over California are unable to buy and sell their illicit narcotics, how will the corrupt politicians receive their kickbacks from the dope dealers?
Without receiving rent, how can the out of luck landlords pay their bills?

Stop the endless unemployment benefits and make them go back to work; then they will have money. Of course, with regular unemployment, Covid federal unemployment, multiple Covid stimulus payments, food stamp payments, free health insurance, and now upcoming Child tax-credit payments, these people should have plenty of money to pay their rent! Remember, a good part of the unemployment payments are tax free also.

Had a couple of rental properties years back. As it turned out the rent almost covered maintenance and repairs and legal fees for evictions and doing daily inspections to try to make sure the "tenants" didn't totally trash and flood the place out. Found some less strenuous investments.

The laws of economics can be brutal and just like the law of gravity can’t be negated by wishing. California is heading for a savage financial crash but the rest of the country will be robbed to bail them out. If the Dems retain power they will find some way to keep the blue states afloat. It will probably be by confiscation of part of your 401k or IRA. They have already been floating the idea around for several years. One time only of course…sure.

Just you wait, California will get reimbursed by the Biden Administration for the payments to the grifters.

They are making a massive mess out of this. And they may extend the moratorium through Sept or perhaps the entire year.
