Get a load of this.Congress is now considering the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act which would cancel all rent and mortgage payments for the duration of the pandemic, and possibly beyond for up to a year.And the law would be retroactive, so they’d go back in time to March 13 to cancel rent.The government would then set up a fund for landlords and mortgage holders “allowing them to recoup their losses, so long as they agree to abide by a set of fair renting and lending practices for a period of five years.”Some of those conditions include not raising the rent for five years, and not denying renters based on credit history, or criminal record.This is insane.
