Ask HN: What happens if you don't pay your rent during the pandemic?

5 points by sturza 7y ago

Will you be kicked out? Who will enforce it? I'm thinking of saving the rent cash for other expenses during this period(mostly food and necessities).

    Maybe talk to your landlord about your situation and they may provide you with some help?. Also, Germany don't you get from Arbeitsamt if you are unemployed?

      I'm talking about employed situation.

        So, you're employed, you have the income to pay your rent, but you want to decide not to and feel okay about that.

        I did not decide anything and i did not mention feelings

Then I can’t pay the mortgage on the house I am renting you and need to start looking for another tenant. That means yes, you get kicked out.
