We have about 5 percent of tenants who had valid covid issues. But now 50% are not paying. Have many accounts with 5-8k owed now. $200,000 of rent not paid over the last 4 months. Why pay rent when your landlord gives you free housing, free maintenance team, free mortgage, free electricity, free water, free trash? 90% of these tenants are scammers. Housing is apparently a human right that's owed from the owner to the renter. Why can't I go into whole foods and steal their food without getting the police called on me? I guess food isn't a human right... What a ****ing joke. They better supply a massive amount of federal bailout funds to landlords after Trump's little act today, which  he used to buy the voting base.

Majority of our non payers failed to prove they had any income disruption and are buying new TVs bikes, you name it. Christmas on the house. I have about 10-20 with a $4,000 balance now on a $1000 month rent, more with 2 months balance... Total system abusers. Forget collections agency. Have tried in the past. On 60k of lost rent they collected exactly zero. State and feds are the entity responsible for taking your property for public use. They need to be held accountable and pay for the time they usurped your property. It even specifically states (in the fed cares act) "no eviction allowed for non payment" - which clearly proves they know the tenant will not pay you and are forcefully requiring that you shoulder the burden of paying for that tenant to live in your property.

Absolutely you need to sue them. I own several hundred rental units in other states, otherwise I'd join you in helping cover the costs. California needs businesses to start putting a lot of pressure on it. The good news is that most of the businesses are moving to Texas which is the biggest hurt that they can put on the state. Without businesses it loses its revenue and becomes a trash heap. Sue them. They are violating your constitutional rights and probably violating the takings clause. They are usurping your property for the benefit of the public. They must reimburse you for taking your private property and using it. Start reaching out to landlords, you can get all their contact info using reonomy which only cost about $100 per month to get direct owner contact points. Get a handful together to start, so you have some cash to initiate the class action. If we can get more landlords across the country to take action we have the possibility of 30 million housing units suing the federal and state governments! Federal Cares act alone is causing over 5 billion in damages for it's moratoriums imposed on landlords.
