HELP US! No rent to be paid for more than 6 months in Seattle!

Seattle passed a bill that extends eviction protection for renters for 6 more months. So, basically you don’t have to pay rent for 6 months AFTER the city reopens. This could absolutely wipe out small time landlords like us! 

Will you take 10 seconds to sign this petition to veto it?

Totally understand that people are struggling to pay rent right now. It’s horrible. And, what happens to small time landlords like me and and my husband who rely on the rent to pay our mortgage???!! There are so many of us like this who could easily lose our home. Why isn’t the city of Seattle reallocating funds to help people who truly can’t pay rent instead of completely transferring this financial problem from renters to “mom & pop” landlords who maybe put their life savings into one rental home? This could wipe out small time landlords in Seattle altogether and that would only make the high rent in Seattle even worse
