Errr - no, no they aren’t. This month had approximately 12% more people miss their rent payment than last April.
That’s high - and bad news for people like my retired aunt and uncle, or father in law, who rely on the income from their rental property - but it’s hardly a national rent strike.
- mobiledev2014 7y agoNot sure if the 1/3 is correct or not but consider this- that's the rise for April. Even people who live paycheck to paycheck can often find a way to scrounge together that money if they just lost their job. I'd say reserve judgement until we see how many people pay their rent in May.
- djrogers 7y agoNot paying your rent because you can’t afford it != joining a rent strike. The rent strike movement is a political one, and has little to do with wether or not one can afford rent.
