This could become a major issue but you'd have to be a heartless landlord to evict someone that couldn't pay their rent due to not being able to work because it was COVID-19 related

And what about the land lord who can't pay his mortgage because his tenants aren't paying rent?

And what about the people who cannot pay their mortgages....do think the banks are going to be lenient?

My guess there would be a lot of foreclosures,

Crikey and Lyndal, maybe the banks could be a bit forgiving at this time too.
Once again being the stupid moron I am I don't see how any will benifit from evicting a previously sound tenant or the banks foreclosing during a situation outside of anyones control.
I'm glad that I won't have to deal with any of this BS

I don't think there's anything in Cash Splash 2.0 for the ordinary Joe Citizen

Looks like it's for businesses

I imagine if a tenant can no longer pay rent , govt rent assistance will be available and as such at least the landlord will be paid that portion of the rent - also I think for once the banks are going to be accommodating , more so as I suspect the Govt will have to underwrite problem mortgages due to coronavirus effects

I disagree, I am sure the government can/will step in to prevent this happening

It would be a very brave bank who took that kind of action during this crisis

Perhaps they will allow those in emergency situations access to part of their

superannuation money.

Yes I think we all know that not everyone has super

My suggestion was in reference to those who do have super

Mandatory Super was introduced in 1991.

Stands to reason - landlords etc - why kick someone out - for not being able to make rent this month or next - given the circumstances.

What - put the property up again - it costs - who can pay - new tenants - hello - we are all in the same boat here.

Perspective.

Banks - will have to join the party.

They of all can afford it.

I don't do welfare, so I don't have one. Very few people, much more than 1%, don't qualify or want to suck on the welfare teat. We know you do,by your posts.
