Gee - let's quit paying the rent, water, electric and garbage bill - and nobody can evict us! Hey - we want free premium cable too! It's our RIGHT!.
These twats been living in their parent's basement too long.....
I live on a fixed income. I have to replace my entire bathroom -shower, sink, flooring, plumbing - ect - because of shitty work my ex brother in law did years ago.... Nobody else is gonna pay for it... Nobody else is going to do the work.
Freeloaders want sympathy? Check the dictionary - it's in between "shit" and "syphilis".
As a limited, temporary measure, it’s probably not a horrible idea. Large parts of the Cancel Rent movement have also called for the establishment of a ‘landlord hardship trust’.
Cancelling rents, while making sure that owners of rental properties don’t wind up in default, is probably going to be less economically damaging than shattered credit ratings, food insecurity, and a massive increase in homelessness. And a lot of people are at risk of these through no fault of their own.

Edit: I looked up some stuff. The average. rent in the US is a little over $17 000/year. The average cost to taxpayers of caring for a single homeless person is more that double that, at about $40 000/year. So, under a rent cancellation scheme which includes reimbursing landlords for lost rent, a family of four (with rent forgiven for a year) would save taxpayers $143 000. Probably more, as people with a place live may not be as likely to resort to crime.
