Something that’s getting lost in convo on slow ERA spending. Many landlords are refusing to accept the money. There are 2 main reasons:
1) those in hot rental market have new incentive to evict - raise rent for new tenants, make more $ in the long run.

New York Renters in Covid Hot Spots Are Four Times More Likely to Face Eviction
And it will only get worse. Eviction decreases medical access & spreads #COVID19. The eviction crisis is known; failure to stop it is willful disregard for life & wellbeing.

New paper out about the impact of COVID on tenants who are struggling to pay rent.
Most stunning to me is the (entirely unsurprising) finding that ***landlords are more than 2x likely to evict for nonpayment of rent in non-white neighborhoods compared to white neighborhoods***
Quote Tweet
Landlords’ responses varied substantially by neighborhood social and demographic composition. For example, tenants in high minority-share neighborhoods were more than twice as likely to be evicted as tenants in neighborhoods with fewer residents of color.

This creates a cycle that increases financial & housing instability among both economically at-risk property owners and renters. In the absence of widespread rental assistance programs for landlords & tenants alike, there is little reason to believe this vicious cycle will end.

Overall this study highlights both the financial stress mom and pop landlords are currently facing and how their responses to this stress may serve to reinforce existing #housing struggles for vulnerable tenants.

However, the impact was far more persistent in neighborhoods with a larger share of residents of color, who remained substantially behind on rent into October, while rental payment rates in neighborhoods with a lower share of minority residents rebounded significantly

Michael Bloomberg has apologized on the campaign trail for the stop-and-frisk policy he touted during his time as mayor of New York City. But a new study illustrates just how far reaching the policy was.
