This is the kind of stuff that gets lawmakers eager to legislate.  

Legislators have essentially made finding a place to stay for borderline tenants nearly impossible.

So back east this is quite popular in non appreciating states.. where the owners want to off load the burden of tax's insurance and maintenance on the property to the buyer.. there have been abuses on this model so there has been some new legislation mainly making sure your buyer has the ability to carry through Dodd Frank rules apply etc. 

Certainly good to know to keep an eye on our Idaho legislators who start pushing this type of agenda! 

About 90,000 California households are behind on their rent by a collective total of $400 million, according to an estimate last week by the independent Legislative Analyst’s Office (although other estimates have been much higher).

Here's a couple sources where you can read more on this if you're interested:Connecticut Office of Legislative Research: Late Rent Grace Period and FeesState of Connecticut Judicial Branch Superior Court: Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants in ConnecticutRegardless though, in my experience, while us landlords may generally focus on due dates, most tenants focus on a different date. 

The new legislation allows landlords or utility companies to apply for the funds directly from cities and states, rather than giving the money directly to renters.

Given Congress appears to be ready to propose new legislation soon for an emergency Covid Bill, wonder if the federally backed mortgage foreclosure moratorium feom the 2020 CARES Act will be extended?

It is my understanding that the big “enterprise” lenders have a moratorium on foreclosures and there is no new legislation affecting me or altering my rights to foreclose.

I read through the legislation and unless CA decides to extend the moratorium, it may end by 1/31.
