California to Pay off all...3 hrs agoansibleCalifornia to Pay off all Past Due Rent Accrued During COVID, Giving Renters Clean SlateCalifornia is paying off residents' past due rent that was accrued during the COVID-19 pandemic, giving renters a clean slate, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced recently.The state's $5.2 billion in funds from Congressionally-approved aid packages is enough to pay off overdue rent, according to Newsom's senior counselor on housing and homelessness, Jason Elliott, the Associated Press reported. However, just $32 million out of $490 million in requests for rental assistance through May 31 have been covered so far, according to a California Department Housing and Community Development report."We should do our best to get back to the starting point where we were in December of 2019. Anything other than that is taking advantage of a crisis," said Keith Becker, a property manager in Sonoma County. He revealed that 14 tenants have not paid $100,000 worth of rent.https://www.newsweek.com/california-pay-off-all-past-due-rent-accrued-during-covid-giving-renters-clean-slate-160255622
Star Member flotsam (3,208 posts) 13. Somewhat question...California max unemployment is $450 per week+300 federal=39K+ minimum 3K over 3 stimulus checks=42K minimum and now every renter is eligible for 10K plus in rent forgiveness=52K for a single childless worker-or pretty close to 4 times Social security income. I kinda bet there are a bunch of people (like 10%+) who merely found it more convenient not to pay and think there should be some form of needs testing-because this is NOT a prepay like unemployment or SSI-this is fullblown government "largess" and as such there will be large scale undeserving (or unneeding) takers.

Good to see all those federal stimulus funds went to what they were actually intended for /sarc
