In terms of commercial renting in the "better" states, this is why the government requires reserves, lending only at a percentage of their income, and take consider economic downturn in underwriting decisions.
I say this in regards to commercial lending though. Residential is no holds barred, anything goes cause banks and mortgage companies house people without any consideration if it's reasonable.

- flashyfaffe2 7y agoAgree with you, however bank rules rely that normality law (small loss at the tail will be covered by the entire population). Here we have a typically extreme case event and generalized Pareto law is more illustrative to deacribe what we witness right now. Banks reserve are clearly not enough to cover all the all loss. So unless a global agreement with every parties ( renters, landlords and Banks) can't see a fair solution popping up.
