A pretty huge problem.. a rental contract is between the property owner and the tenant. If the government cancels obligation for one of the two parties, the contract is void. A better question would be why the government is entitled to fuck around with property they dont own and contracts they are not party to? Looks like thievery by any other measure.. and another attempt to fuck with peoples incomes even more than the lockdowns.
Brings up a question. How does the government have the authority to interfere with a mortgage contract. You might be able to argue that a state does, but the federal government's powers are enumerated. It has to be specifically authorized in the constitution. Rent payments are definitely not interstate commerce. I guess we have a lot of legislators that don't understand the law.
The government is telling you what you can and can't do with your own property.
