[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5597115, member: 12952"] In Taxachusetts covid never ended. [URL unfurl="true"]https://howiecarrshow.com/good-faith-shame-on-me/[/URL] This week the State Senate passed an amendment to continue the COVID eviction moratorium. It is never going away. If approved, the program would require eviction cases based on nonpayment of rent to be stopped if a tenant has applied for rental assistance from the state. That’s quite the loophole for the tenant and yet another big burden for already hard-pressed landlords who must come up with the mortgage payment, property taxes, utilities etc. every month. According to the State House News Service, “Courts would be required to notify the state of any suspended eviction cases so officials could expedite a pending aid application. For tenants to get the case paused, their application for aid would need to be ‘made in good faith.’” The state would “expedite” an application? How long would that take? Are we talking Registry of Motor Vehicles-style “expedited” wait times? You cannot get an appointment to obtain Real ID for months. Even today, there are no appointments available on the Registry website. How long is the landlord supposed to carry the deadbeat? With this crackpot COVID-era law becoming permanent, no one will be investing in the Commonwealth. And these idiots at the State House are constantly perplexed as to why housing is so expensive. If no one invests that means less new construction, fewer rental units and…. higher prices. [/QUOTE]
