nuckin_futz Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The bans are really meaning business........ Orange County California full Coronavirus lockdown. All gatherings, any size, banned. Wed 18 Mar 2020 02:33:18 GMT Order issued during the afternoon in California All public and private gatherings of any number of people, including at places of work, occurring outside a single household or living unit are prohibited. However, nothing in this Order prohibits the gathering of members of a household or living unit. This prohibition applies to all professional, social, and community gatherings, regardless of their sponsor, that are not engaged in Essential Activities San Fransisco enacted a "Shelter in Place" order Monday New York City close to enacting "Shelter in Place" Shelter in place is a near total ban on movement. Like what they did in Hubei province in China. You'd be allowed out only under limited circumstances like getting supplies or walking your dog if you maintained a 6 ft distance from everyone.

Petey40 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hey guys I have a question, I’m a renter and if my landlord starts getting mortgage deferrals would it be fair for me to expect to pay less rent? Already got laid off work so it seems like it’s something that should chain down the line. Maybe that’s wishful thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Building Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 42 minutes ago, J-Dizzle said: Mortgage deferral would still leave you paying the interest in order to keep from going backwards. Still a huge amount... difference of 1166 vs 277 in my case (yeah my mortgage is that cheap lol... benefits to living out of the lower mainland). IF everyone is collectively as serious about this as they should be that would be a great way to make it possible for people to be a little more cautious. Indeed, I kind of glossed over that part, but you're right, and it will totally make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately don't see that happening with 90% of Landlords/Renters. +in that situation theres nobody to enforce it either Hopefully you're in the 10% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The total amount of the mortgage is still owed in full. The mortgage holder can just stop paying for 6 months and they'll tack it on to the end of the mortgage. It would certainly aid in allowing people to stay put and isolate for a while while the virus passes.

Not necessarily less rent but deferred as well maybe, if you have a long term lease. Getting rent deferred for 6 months would mean paying double rent for the next 6 months though.. not easy.. or guarantee’d for the landlord to trust tenants to come through Tough situations all round, depends on the type of person your landlord is as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People saying “why didn’t they do it sooner” have no comprehension of the ramifications each one of these decisions will have. Rushing into any decision right now without consulting experts can also be just as dangerous. I completely understand that, but every day we go on with business as usual, despite the degree of it, is a day worse and a few weeks down the road that's going to become terrifyingly tragic. We missed our window to avoid the worst of it 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petey40 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Thanks for the answers guys, I think I’m going to speak with my landlord and see if we can’t come to a mutual agreement. I think she actually owns this house completely so maybe she will be able to recognize how $&!#ty this is and allow me to pay even a little bit less.

That's not going to happen, at some point in the somewhat near future they'll have no choice but to hit pause on the economy or hand out universal basic income.
