Nearly a third of Americans didn't pay rent this month, new data shows

With nearly 10 million Americans filing for unemployment in March, April 1 was always going to be a difficult day for US renters.

Now we know just how difficult: Nearly a third of American renters didn't pay their rent this month. That's according to data from the National Multifamily Housing Council, a trade association for the apartment industry. Here's what to do if you can't pay your rentOf more than 13 million units in the US that the report covered, 69% of renters paid their rent between April 1 and 5. During the same period in April 2019, 82% of households paid their rent on time, the report said.

“Can’t pay, won’t pay”? Really? As a landlord, I’ll work with my tenants, no problem. Until you come at me with “I won’t pay”. Then we got a problem. One I’d remind you of when the moratorium on evictions is up cuz I still had to pay my mortgage while you told me “you won’t” pay.

There will always be tough times periodically. Used to be folks would feel bad when couldn’t pay bills from some misfortune. Now people seem to be actually proud of not honoring their word. Hard to understand but I suppose natural outcome from the participation trophy era.

Bad weather talk about saving lives Like so.Chef Justice Saviour save your Spirits THANKS PRAISE Chef Saviour Protector protect your Spirits lives matter dewilling stay on the little street and do what's rite. Spirit 👑 take ❤ Spirits.

Somewhat misleading when about a fifth of renters normally don’t pay rent in time based on the article.

Hasn’t the government stepped up and put extra funding in place for people out of work?

☺

You know sometimes I understand about this but sometimes I think it's just a bunch of bull if you're handicapped or really really sick and couldn't make it to work major set back is one thing but good healthy people know you paid your rent before how?

I guess they should look to their state’s governor pay our rent. I mean, they are the ones who implemented the shut downs.

This virus is exposing all the clowns here in LA that don’t pay taxes. Non-tax payers are not getting financial relief from the feds and therefor refuse to pay rent when something like this happens.

If only we had a candidate that wanted to pay minimum wage workers more.

Still working 💪🏼

That third needs support now! Join DwellsyRents in calling for a national rent relief response.

How many are just lazy and taking advantage of the situation? Shit. I think I’ll stop paying my bills too.

Need to printmoney to pay each worker, this money will trickle up & save the banks, save the world

Looking to survive, jobs cut, half payment, it's a chaos

Here’s a thought, use your new gubment $$ check to actually PAY YOUR BILLS!
