Other than being an absolute sh*tty person looking to punish someone, what is the point of all these landlords refusing to go through the process to obtain the funds they say are due them?

Breh, hear me out.... I get where you're coming from but there is a legit reason for this. I would guarantee the overwhelming majority (80%+) of these are situations where tenants were already way behind on rent BEFORE the pandemic.

Imagine a tenant that was 3/4 months behind rent as of February 2020. And trust me that in places like Chicago with strong tenant rights protections this isn't out of the ordinary. Even if eviction process began they were halted. Then pandemic hits and tenant continues not paying. Rental assistance programs didn't even exist until December 2020 and everyone knows they were nowhere near large enough in scope. So you have landlords who may not have received rent for 15 months by the time January/February 2021 has rolled around. We are now in September 2021. There are ppl who haven't paid rent for close to 2 years and the issue preventing tenant from paying existed before the pandemic. You will be right back where you started even if you do get the rental assistance (which most ppl won't). In the meanwhile you still had to spend money on maintenance/repairs, certain utilities etc etc. Not to mention unfortunately these scenarios can end up getting intensely personal. No different than politics. For some ppl the money is no longer driving the decision making.

Also…in a say 500 person unit complex you can raise the rent on the 95% paying rent and just by moving out a few tenants.


These landlords( not the mom and pop ones) are calculating on a large property. Not 3 or 4 apartments.


Or they can sell the property to another owner.

One of the more frustrating aspects of this issue is that the people yelling the loudest don't distinguish between the corporate vs individually owned. To say that it's a night and day difference is an understatement. Large real estate companies already assume a certain percentage of "losses" due to eviction/non payment etc per # of units and build that into the rent. No different than say a tool making company that knows every year they end up replacing 2% of every drill they manufacture under warranty. Those companies have law firms on staff that routinely file for evictions. They don't even bother with trying to "work things out" with tenants or giving them payment plans etc. You miss rent you get a late fee notice, then a 5 day notice, a 30 day notice, then action for eviction is filed. No ifs ands or buts.
