To: Gov. De Santis and Sen. Rick Scott
Tell Gov. De Santis and Sen. Scott to freeze rents
Please freeze the rents and mortgages. Prices keep going higher and higher and millions have lost their jobs or are unable to work during the coronavirus pandemic. We need a freeze till at least this crisis is over to ensure people don't lose their homes and ability to protect themselves.
Why is this important?
Most people live by their budget and soaring prices for rent and mortgages make housing the biggest cost. This is unsustainable in this crisis when all we have is our retirement checks some have their children helping them before this even happen. and so many people live from paycheck to paycheck.
As a group, the working-class of Florida have been financially crippled by the critical and necessary measures put in place to slow the spread of coronavirus. Though the federal or state government may eventually provide relief, the immediate conservation of our limited financial resources are necessary for our own and our family's health and well being. Renters, lessors, banks and other relevant institutions can, as a class seek their own relief; the state and the federal government are much more responsive and historically more likely to act on their behalf. We must protect our limited cash flow, ensure people can keep their homes, and protect credit ratings immediately.
