    It was an eviction moratorium not cancellation. The rent continued to accrue. It's unfortunate that a lot, if not most, tenants didn't understand that. One mistake she made was not sending the check certified mail with signature required upon receipt and return receipt requested.

      She didn't pay the rent because the check she was waiting on included her current and back rent. That's why they told her not to pay it. They stole the money because they were selling the property, that's really what happened.

    NONE of those "rent relief" programs said you didn't have to pay the rent. The Feds specifically stated that all rent would be owed. The ONLY thing that happened was a delay in evictions, and sometimes tax money used for assistance. The moment the eviction moratorium was lifted, every dime of back rent was due. Folks spent the money and then couldn't pay the rent. Yes, there are limited times when properties are transitioning that there can be confusion. If the check was cashed, the agency that issued it can find out where it went. If it has not been deposited, it may not have been received.

Claim #1: Her claim is she handed the check over and it was not RIGHTFULLY credited to her arrears account. Claim #2: The new landlord is being unsympathetic to her first claim and asking for the FULL amount of rent in arrears.

      @@KayDejaVu Thats a common issue with debt collection, sending the payment just before getting notified that the account has been sent to a collector. The creditor has little reason to hurry to update the collector, and it's far worse if the debt has actually been sold, because paying the original creditor does nothing to reduce the debt since it is no longer theirs. Getting a refund in that case is often an act of futility.

Always make a copy of any documentation when dealing with the landlord or anyone. always have a copy if they give you a check make a copy they give you an additional notice make a copy if there’s a piece of paper that needs to be signed make a copy and make a copy of the signatures and do not leave until you get copies these companies bank on you never having a paper trail.

If it can be verified that the check was cashed then she can present that information in front of the court. If the check has not been cashed then she should be able to contact someone from the rent relief program and request that another check be cut and upon them verifying that the previous check had not in fact been cashed they should not have an issue will giving her another check. It is not like they would be giving her new money, the amount of the check was funds that were already specifically allocated for her. I really hope that she did not cash the check and use the money and now wants to say that it just magically got lost because it would be extremely easy for that to be figured out.

Therefore current rent was still piling up so if the tenants wasn’t paying current rent that’s due they’re still getting behind so the eviction come into play for the current months. I think some of these people felt like they didn’t want to pay because during Covid landlords couldn’t evict at that time but what they didn’t understand is all those months of not paying add up now Landlords can evict them it’s thousands of dollars due anywhere from 10 to 15 thousand dollars how can they pay that they can’t. They thought it was a free ran not knowing this will end and they will owe thousands of dollars.

    This is why people need to be self sufficient and work and pay your own way. The government is not your friend. Eventually all the free living will come to an end. When there are more people living off of social prograns than those who work and pay for those programs through their taxes, the entire welfare sustem is going to implode.
    Why are so many people on generational and lifetime social programs? Why are people so entitled to feel that others must support them?
    So many landlords got screwed during the moratorium. So now they have to make up for those thousands and thousands of lost dollars. Many will never take vouchers again. Rents will continue skyrocketing. Many landlords lost their properties since they could not afford to house people for free for years. So that leaves fewer rentals available. Which increases rent. Those who have evictions are having no luck because no one wants to take a risk of a bad tenant. Many people continued to work but bought cars and boats instead of paying rent

It’s not the new company’s debt and this can prevent their solid residents from being homeless. Besides, the new owners will be able to get sizeable tax credits that will give them a great start in solid relationships with the residents and keep people from being homeless. The pandemic is not over. There are new variants being discovered right along with other viruses. Have those residents sign new leases and addendums and move forward. I pray the state and federal governments don’t allow those evictions to proceed. However, tenants must be in compliance and be responsible in paying their obligations moving forward.

      Landlords, and property management companies are in business to make money, not prevent homelessness. That's what shelters are for, and many in shelters thought exactly as many of the moratorium violators. Right is right, and wrong is wrong.
      Far too many mom-and-pop landlords lost their properties, had to sell them, and/or suffered financial hardships because of the moratorium issues. And it wasn't right.

That is not a complicated concept. There was no mention of penalties..... There was no mention of rent-FREE, it was rent-DELAYED, interest-FREE.
