Rent suspension = cancellation. No payments, no late fees, no debts. Zero. We prefer #RentZero to rental assistance bc it's universal and doesn't put the burden on tenants. Rental assistance is a bailout for landlords that makes the tenants do the work of getting the money.

Great idea, move to another place where I'll almost certainly still be giving a good chunk of my paycheck every month to someone who's done the hard work of...buying land because they're rich
