There is a new thing on facebook etc, where people are standing with companies like the Cheesecake factory, and people who are not paying rent. This seems to be spreading and I'm curious if anyone on here is going to not pay rent as well?

I'm paying rent of course, but my rent (since I just rent a basement) is only $575. I realize there are people paying 3x that just for a 1 bedroom in some places and with no work, even the $1200 won't help enough.

So are you paying rent? There are no evictions right now, and I feel like some people are taking advantage of that fact to just skip out on paying rent. Currently home owners do not have anything waving mortgage payments or taxes, so they are still relying on rent to keep up the payments.

I do believe there is a halt on foreclosures as well, but, unless they make it permanent for missed payments during this time, a homeowner who doesn't pay mortgage payments would just be forclosed on after this is over, even if they started making payments again.

I think that is seriously wrong, and this could lead to many people losing their homes (and yet another way for the banks to make a profit) because people won't or can't pay rent to home owners, and therefore, they are unable to make mortgage payments etc.

I feel bad for everyone in this situation, I really think there should have been a direct FREEZE on ALL rental payments, mortgage payments, and property taxes until this is resolved and people can go back to work.
