1,多州都开始了,文中列举了:CA, MA, WA, FL, MD, NY, PA,etc. 估计其它地方很快跟上
2,政府官员是这么想的:Ban eviction to avoid greater public health emergency. 和public health联系上了,不再只是房租问题。
Avoiding evictions at a time when millions of people could lose income is also a matter of public health. “This pandemic is a stark reminder that housing is health care,” said Diane Yentel, president and CEO of the National Low Income Housing Coalition.
真理直气壮。
3,Washington state 可能会有emergency rental assistance funds at the state and local level。这还可以接受,不能光要landlord奉献免租,政府可以帮付房租嘛。希望其它州政府都跟上,不要光号召地主们为房客们的特殊情况考虑,地主的钱不是从天上掉下来的,政府可以印钱。
既然政府的态度这么鲜明,我在等着看哪几个房客会先发邮件来要求不交或少交4月份房租,是白玉房客还是白菜房客。
