"content": "\u003cp>Blanca Aleman, an asylum-seeker from El Salvador, first came to the U.S. in the summer of 2016 to reunite with relatives living in the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Aleman’s family — her two daughters, mom, aunts, brothers and nephews — live together: a total of 13 people in a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house in Richmond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very difficult,” said Aleman, 35, in Spanish. “Sometimes we have to wait in line to use the bathroom, or to cook in the kitchen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the pandemic, those inconveniences also mean Aleman’s entire household is at higher risk of getting sick and transmitting the coronavirus. In April, Aleman’s aunt tested positive for COVID-19. Shortly after, her 13-year-old daughter, Lindsay, also had it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How am I going to distance her?” asked Aleman, who shares a bed with Lindsay and her youngest, Megan, who is 3 years old. “You can’t do it. There’s not enough space at home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, UCSF\"]‘This is a twin epidemic … An epidemic of the virus and an epidemic of the economic crisis. And it’s the latter that I think will really make it much more difficult to keep the former under control.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleman, who is five months pregnant, also fears for her unborn baby. Her doctor at Lifelong Brookside Richmond Health Center said there are \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/pregnancy-breastfeeding.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">not enough data\u003c/a> to know if or how the coronavirus could hurt Aleman’s pregnancy or baby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It can affect me. But they don’t know to what degree,” Aleman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Medical professionals advise patients recovering at home from COVID-19 to stay in a room by themselves if they live with others, and avoid sharing a bathroom and kitchen utensils. But those guidelines are practically impossible to follow for many low-income immigrants doubling or tripling up to afford rent in the San Francisco Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of high housing costs, California’s overcrowding rate is more than double the national average, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/overcrowded-housing-and-covid-19-risk-among-essential-workers/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Public Policy Institute of California\u003c/a>. Latinos are also much more likely to live in overcrowded, multigenerational homes than other racial or ethnic groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They often don’t have the luxury to be in settings where they can really maintain the type of distance that’s required to keep themselves safe and the people around them safe,” said Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, a professor of medicine and epidemiology at UCSF.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As state officials loosen stay-at-home orders and slowly reopen the economy, Bibbins-Domingo expects more outbreaks of the virus at a time when millions of Californians have lost their jobs and may struggle to afford the basics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a twin epidemic,” she said. “This is an epidemic of the virus and an epidemic of the economic crisis. And it’s the latter that I think will really make it much more difficult to keep the former under control, particularly in the communities that are hardest hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Statewide, Latinos represent \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/COVID-19/Race-Ethnicity.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">more than half\u003c/a> of 71,000 confirmed cases where race or ethnicity was identified. In Contra Costa County, where Aleman lives, Latinos comprise about a quarter of the population, but nearly 40% of confirmed COVID-19 cases, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.coronavirus.cchealth.org/dashboard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contra Costa Health Services\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Living in close quarters, such as in congregate settings or overcrowded homes, increases the risk of exposure to the virus after someone brings it in, said Dr. Ori Tzvieli, Contra Costa County deputy health officer and a family practitioner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more densely people are living, the higher their risks that they would transmit coronavirus to one another,” said Tzvieli. “Most of the cases that we have seen in China and many in the United States have been through household contact.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Latest News on Coronavirus' tag='coronavirus']Contra Costa, like other counties in the Bay Area, offers free hotel stays for people who don’t have a safe place to quarantine and are confirmed positive for coronavirus or considered “under investigation” by public health officials while they await test results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the county has placed more than 300 high-risk people experiencing homelessness in hotels under the state’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.coronavirus.cchealth.org/for-the-homeless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Project Roomkey\u003c/a>” initiative, according to health officials. But Tzvieli said only a few patients with homes of their own have taken up that option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For most people, we have found a way to help them effectively isolate in their home,” he said. “But it’s good to have that option … the benefit is to the patient, their housemates and the entire community knowing that the people have a safe place to stay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleman said she tried to find another place to live before the pandemic. But she said smaller apartments, even in less desirable neighborhoods, were too expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under normal circumstances, she and her family pitch in to cover the $2,600 in monthly rent for their house. Aleman’s portion for the room she shares with her daughters is $850.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after Aleman’s work as an office cleaner dried up in March and other adults in her household also lost income, the family worries about how they’ll pay June’s rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleman considered applying for unemployment benefits, for which she is eligible, but believed her request would be denied because the state requires a valid work authorization, and her work permit was set to expire soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until this month that she learned U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/automatic-employment-authorization-document-ead-extension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">automatically extends\u003c/a> work permits for asylum-seekers and other immigrants who properly file renewal requests, as the agency takes several months to process those applications. Aleman submitted her renewal request in April, about a month before her permit expired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, without having secured wage replacement benefits, Aleman relies on nearby food banks to contribute to the staples her family prepares: beans, fried rice, cheese, eggs and Aleman’s favorite — fresh, hand-made tortillas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Living together helps Aleman’s family save on rent and other expenses, and they are able to support one another by taking turns to cook meals, clean the home and care for each other’s children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We live as family and that’s a great help,” Aleman said. “We have each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleman is also relying on her relatives in a new way. Recently, she started feeling sick and experiencing shortness of breath and bad headaches, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like her daughter and aunt before her, Aleman tested positive for COVID-19 this month and became one of the nearly 37,000 Latinos so far confirmed with the coronavirus in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But Tzvieli said only a few patients with homes of their own have taken up that option.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For most people, we have found a way to help them effectively isolate in their home,” he said. “But it’s good to have that option … the benefit is to the patient, their housemates and the entire community knowing that the people have a safe place to stay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleman said she tried to find another place to live before the pandemic. But she said smaller apartments, even in less desirable neighborhoods, were too expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under normal circumstances, she and her family pitch in to cover the $2,600 in monthly rent for their house. Aleman’s portion for the room she shares with her daughters is $850.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after Aleman’s work as an office cleaner dried up in March and other adults in her household also lost income, the family worries about how they’ll pay June’s rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleman considered applying for unemployment benefits, for which she is eligible, but believed her request would be denied because the state requires a valid work authorization, and her work permit was set to expire soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until this month that she learned U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/automatic-employment-authorization-document-ead-extension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">automatically extends\u003c/a> work permits for asylum-seekers and other immigrants who properly file renewal requests, as the agency takes several months to process those applications. Aleman submitted her renewal request in April, about a month before her permit expired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, without having secured wage replacement benefits, Aleman relies on nearby food banks to contribute to the staples her family prepares: beans, fried rice, cheese, eggs and Aleman’s favorite — fresh, hand-made tortillas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Living together helps Aleman’s family save on rent and other expenses, and they are able to support one another by taking turns to cook meals, clean the home and care for each other’s children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We live as family and that’s a great help,” Aleman said. “We have each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aleman is also relying on her relatives in a new way. Recently, she started feeling sick and experiencing shortness of breath and bad headaches, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like her daughter and aunt before her, Aleman tested positive for COVID-19 this month and became one of the nearly 37,000 Latinos so far confirmed with the coronavirus in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That's going to be compounded by really tight inventory. In these moments of tight inventory, which I think we'll see, at least in the short run, I don't think the home values will actually fall all that much, because the buyers that are still out there are still going to be the ones that are really bullish on their local economies and their ability to bounce back from this.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Income Inequality Will Grow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Matt Schwartz, president and CEO of the California Housing Partnership:\u003c/strong> People who were previously not in need of assistance are now going to need it. People who previously needed some assistance are going to need more, at least for an interim period. That's something we're all very concerned about. We had around \u003ca href=\"https://chpc.net/resources/2020-statewide-housing-needs-report/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1.4 to 1.3 million households \u003c/a>who were living without an affordable place in California. Now that number is going to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Popov:\u003c/strong> Right now what we're finding in our data is the best predictor of who's able to pay their housing costs, who's able to keep working, is the ability to work remotely. There are some people who can carry about their jobs because their jobs are relying on emails, on phone calls, on meetings that can be held virtually. Whereas people who work jobs that require face-to-face interaction are really being left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big problem is that those two kinds of jobs correlate really strongly with income. High earners are much more likely to be able to be working from home right now and are much more likely to continue to make their salary, afford their housing, whereas those occupations that cannot work from home are also disproportionately high poverty occupations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Working From Home May Change Where We Live\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issi Romem:\u003c/strong> I think mostly employers are going to realize that they have a lot to gain by allowing people to work from home, even if that's not fully working from home the whole time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ian Winters, executive director of the Northern California Land Trust\"]'We are in this moment where there is an opportunity to put things back together a little bit different or a whole lot different.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's going to allow people to live in different places than they used to. If you only have to get to work twice a week instead of five days a week, you can handle a longer commute. That could re-energize sprawl. In a place like California, where we are, that could mean that communities out in the Bay Area or the L.A. mega-regions could see more pressure on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't think this is the end of the city, the way that some people are prognosticating. I think we will have a temporary backlash against dense urban places. The fundamental forces that keep cities in place and the pro-city tilt in public opinion of the last 30 years are probably going to survive this.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>New Housing Construction May Slow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Sid Lakireddy, president of the California Rental Housing Association:\u003c/strong> New development tends to taper off in a recession, and they won't be so quick to start new housing projects. But it was that pressure release valve that was needed because the cost of construction had gotten so high, that it did not make sense for a lot of projects to be built anymore. You saw a lot of projects in San Francisco not being built right before this happened. So, yes, I think you're going to see a cooling off in construction, unfortunately, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mike Ghielmetti:\u003c/strong> We have one building we were hoping to start sometime this summer or fall, and we still hope to do that. We’re working with prospective lenders and partners to try to actually start that. I think overall, there are a number of projects that were in the pipeline already, so the amount of supply in the balance of 2020 and into 2021 will still be a healthy amount, which will benefit consumers and tenants. And then, I think the amount of new starts will go down because of the economic climate and the reduced availability of capital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11814940\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11814940\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco houses\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A row of houses in the Mission District of San Francisco on March 31, 2020.

More than 10% of renters haven’t paid rent, and the number of homes for sale has fallen in every Bay Area market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one was prepared for this,” said Gustavo Lopez, a realtor and property manager for a dozen rentals in the San Francisco Bay Area. “No one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what does that mean for an industry in overdrive?

But that's not actually what we're seeing. What could make them fall are the real effects on the economy. If people are out of jobs and can't afford to buy houses, that will affect housing prices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Popov, chief economist at Apartment List:\u003c/strong> There's still a lot of optimism for home values going forward. That's going to be compounded by really tight inventory. In these moments of tight inventory, which I think we'll see, at least in the short run, I don't think the home values will actually fall all that much, because the buyers that are still out there are still going to be the ones that are really bullish on their local economies and their ability to bounce back from this.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Income Inequality Will Grow\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Matt Schwartz, president and CEO of the California Housing Partnership:\u003c/strong> People who were previously not in need of assistance are now going to need it. People who previously needed some assistance are going to need more, at least for an interim period. That's something we're all very concerned about. We had around \u003ca href=\"https://chpc.net/resources/2020-statewide-housing-needs-report/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1.4 to 1.3 million households \u003c/a>who were living without an affordable place in California. Now that number is going to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Igor Popov:\u003c/strong> Right now what we're finding in our data is the best predictor of who's able to pay their housing costs, who's able to keep working, is the ability to work remotely. There are some people who can carry about their jobs because their jobs are relying on emails, on phone calls, on meetings that can be held virtually. Whereas people who work jobs that require face-to-face interaction are really being left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The big problem is that those two kinds of jobs correlate really strongly with income. High earners are much more likely to be able to be working from home right now and are much more likely to continue to make their salary, afford their housing, whereas those occupations that cannot work from home are also disproportionately high poverty occupations.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Working From Home May Change Where We Live\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issi Romem:\u003c/strong> I think mostly employers are going to realize that they have a lot to gain by allowing people to work from home, even if that's not fully working from home the whole time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But it was that pressure release valve that was needed because the cost of construction had gotten so high, that it did not make sense for a lot of projects to be built anymore. You saw a lot of projects in San Francisco not being built right before this happened. So, yes, I think you're going to see a cooling off in construction, unfortunately, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mike Ghielmetti:\u003c/strong> We have one building we were hoping to start sometime this summer or fall, and we still hope to do that. We’re working with prospective lenders and partners to try to actually start that. I think overall, there are a number of projects that were in the pipeline already, so the amount of supply in the balance of 2020 and into 2021 will still be a healthy amount, which will benefit consumers and tenants. And then, I think the amount of new starts will go down because of the economic climate and the reduced availability of capital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11814940\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11814940\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"San Francisco houses\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/RS42470_001_KQED_SanFrancisco_RentStrike_03312020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A row of houses in the Mission District of San Francisco on March 31, 2020.

Tenants’ rights organizers say they are seeing more tenants, like Krueger, turn to collective action.

Landlords need rental income to pay property taxes and maintain their buildings, among other expenses, said Sid Lakireddy, the group’s president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we stop paying our bills, there will be huge ripple effects on the economy,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/i/status/1256277955237408768\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the association has urged landlords to work with their tenants to get through the state of emergency. Jim Siegel, a property owner and owner of Distractions, a clothing store in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, has offered his tenants who were laid off or furloughed a 25% reduction in the rent, or the opportunity to repay the full balance within a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Landlords are people, too,” Siegel said, “with expenses like everyone else.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Aid on the Way?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In California, advocates are urging Gov. Gavin Newsom to issue an executive order to forgive rent and mortgage debts, but he’s so far shown no signs he plans to do that. And legislators say it’s unlikely there will be support for a statewide fund to pay for missed rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California does have a $20 billion “rainy day” fund, but state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, said that money will likely be used to prop up schools, hospitals, homeless services, mental health care and other social welfare programs where residents rely on the state. Unlike the federal government, California’s constitution requires legislators to approve a balanced budget each year, meaning it can’t take on debt to provide temporary relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will have to make very, very hard choices,” Wiener said. “That’s why it’s all the more important for the federal government to step up with even more stimulus, including strong support for states that cannot deficit spend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11815345\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11815345\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42496_008_KQED_Oakland_RentStrike_04012020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42496_008_KQED_Oakland_RentStrike_04012020-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42496_008_KQED_Oakland_RentStrike_04012020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42496_008_KQED_Oakland_RentStrike_04012020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42496_008_KQED_Oakland_RentStrike_04012020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An ‘Oakland Rent Strike’ banner hangs in the window of a home in Oakland on April 1, 2020.

As a result, the woman didn’t have to pay rent in April and will have reduced rent payments in May and June, Krueger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Krueger is working to convince neighbors to enter into a formal tenants’ council and then plans to pitch the idea to renters in the landlord’s 10 other buildings.

The firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.tobenerlaw.com/cant-afford-rent-covid-19/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recently published a legal toolkit\u003c/a> for tenants who have been financially burdened because of COVID-19, which also advises tenants with no other options to stop paying rent and refuse to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tobener predicts tenants likely won’t see an eviction judgement until sometime in 2021, because even when the courts do open, there will be a huge backlog of cases and the potential limitations of holding jury trials.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Joseph Tobener, Tenant rights attorney\"]‘It’s a real mess… It’s like the perfect shitstorm with the courts being closed.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a real mess,” Tobener said. “It’s like the perfect shitstorm with the courts being closed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Woo, a San Francisco-based property attorney who represents landlords with Cooper White & Cooper LLP, also sees a backlog of cases in the courts’ future, and said that means time is now on the tenants’ side. The Judicial Council’s decision was just one more in a bevy of tenant protections cities and counties had already approved, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What this order has done is, it has shifted the whole timing to at least 120 days longer,” Woo said, “and that is to the advantage of the tenant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evictions were one way to get tenants to negotiate a payment plan if they were not making rent, Woo said. But rent will be due eventually, and Woo is advising clients to work out a deal with their tenants to pay some rent now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some property management companies, however, have tried more aggressive tactics to get their tenants to pay. Greg August, of San Francisco, was laid off in March from his job as a hotel convention waiter and bartender. He’s applied for unemployment but still hasn’t received a payment yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The property managers for Normandy Apartments in San Francisco, where August lives, slipped a letter under the door asking for a phone number for tenants’ employers to verify they are unemployed. They also requested a statement, under penalty of perjury, declaring the tenant does not have sufficient savings to cover rent. Attorneys for tenants say that it’s illegal to request those items.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>August said the letter made him really nervous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t feel like getting up in the morning,” he said. “I’m afraid there will be a knock on my door demanding I pay, and I’m worried about someone approaching me in the laundry room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Kimmel, one of the property managers for Normandy Apartments, said they’ve since agreed to only ask tenants for a letter from their employers stating their hours were reduced or that they were laid off. Then, like many other property managers, he’ll try to work out a payment plan when the tenants can go back to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re all in the same boat here,” Kimmel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Striking a Deal\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/many-americans-couldnt-pay-april-rent/\">A recent survey by Apartment List\u003c/a> of nearly 1,000 California residents found nearly 11 percent of tenants were unable to pay any rent in April. Another 14 percent of renters could only make a partial payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s pretty consistent with what Bill Rosetti, the CEO of J & R Associates, an Oakland-based property management firm, said he’s seeing, with about 10 percent of the tenants in the 700 or 800 units his company owns unable to pay rent this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosetti is offering his tenants a 60-day deferral on rent and is using that time to figure out a payment plan. A five-decade veteran of the industry, Rosetti has seen recessions come and go. But he’s never experienced anything like this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is way worse,” he said, “because in other cycles, it’s just a small percentage of people — 5 or 10 percent of tenants who can’t pay — but in this circumstance, every one of our tenants is impacted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He expects 30 percent of his tenants won’t be able to pay come June if the shelter in place continues, which will make it difficult to keep up with maintenance on the buildings and seismic retrofit work he had planned to do this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The burden falls especially hard on small landlords who have just a few properties they rent out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andy Kim and his wife purchased a four-unit apartment building in Oakland’s Eastmont neighborhood last year. Most of the tenants use Section 8 vouchers to subsidize their rents, Kim said. And two of them couldn’t make payments this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim said he has no plans to evict his tenants. But he doesn’t know how long he can cover his mortgage without their rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can do maybe six months, and then we’ll be forced to sell the building,” he said, adding that the time frame includes getting his bank to agree to a forbearance on the mortgage and taking out loans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I don’t pay for April, May and June, my bank won’t charge interest, but come July, I have to pay in full,” he said. “And if I don’t pay anything until then, I will have a really big bill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Ripple Effects\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If property owners can’t pay their mortgages or maintain their properties, a housing disaster could be looming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just renters that get hurt by this,” said Carol Galante, faculty director for the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley and the former federal housing commissioner during the Obama administration. “I think people really don’t understand how much of the rent goes to covering the basics of owning and running a building.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a worst case scenario, Galante said that if landlords start missing their payments, we could see an extended drop in rents and home values. On top of that, a spike in unemployment and an uncertain economic forecast could spell bad news for the housing market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t want to see a dramatic distressed market,” Galante said. “That’s not good for anybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just as landlords are feeling uncertain about being able to pay their mortgages, electricity bills and maintenance, tenants are uncertain when they will go back to work — or even if they will go back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamie Bagley always thought hairdressing was a recession-proof profession. Even during the Great Depression, some people were getting their hair done, she said. Now, she’s not sure when she’ll be allowed to go back to work or what the economy will look like when she does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, she doesn’t want to use the little savings she has on rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel better hanging on to what I have,” Bagley said, acknowledging that landlords are in a tough spot, too. “I feel like there has to be some sort of debt forgiveness here, otherwise everyone is going to end up in a really bad place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Resources for Tenants\u003c/h3>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>KQED’s collection of resources for renters, with a breakdown by county are available \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11809833/stressed-about-paying-your-april-rent-check-here-first\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>For additional assistance with bills see KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11812172/how-to-navigate-bills-right-now-from-student-loans-to-phone-plans#4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Navigate Bills Right Now, From Student Loans to Phone Plans. \u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.mynd.co/situation-room/tenant/coronavirus/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collection of resources\u003c/a> on COVID-19 for renters and residents compiled by Mynd Property Management.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R9y8KLbU-oZTJheoqobmqg6TJxkwSjTkJvm6WywHURk/edit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bay Area Mass Resource List\u003c/a> is a continuously updated document with additional housing and health information.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

On top of that, a spike in unemployment and an uncertain economic forecast could spell bad news for the housing market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t want to see a dramatic distressed market,” Galante said. “That’s not good for anybody.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just as landlords are feeling uncertain about being able to pay their mortgages, electricity bills and maintenance, tenants are uncertain when they will go back to work — or even if they will go back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jamie Bagley always thought hairdressing was a recession-proof profession. Even during the Great Depression, some people were getting their hair done, she said. Now, she’s not sure when she’ll be allowed to go back to work or what the economy will look like when she does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, she doesn’t want to use the little savings she has on rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She was three days late on paying rent, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m fighting really hard to keep a roof over my head,” Yomila said in Spanish, declining to give her last name because of a domestic violence situation. Three of her children have disabilities, she said, making them especially vulnerable to the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, it’s impossible to find another place to rent,” Yomila said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California tries to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday issued an \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/3.16.20-Executive-Order.pdf\">executive order\u003c/a> urging local governments to halt evictions if tenants are unable to pay rent due to the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some cities, including Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose, have already taken steps to do that. But rather than forcing local governments to pass moratoriums city-by-city and county-by-county, many activists are saying the governor should be doing much more by imposing a statewide freeze, regardless of whether the evictions are related to the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[The governor] punted responsibility to over-burdened counties and cities to deal with this problem themselves, when, in my opinion, they should be focusing on delivering emergency services to their citizens,\" said Meghan Gordon, director of housing practice for the East Bay Community Law Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The executive order, which will remain in effect until May 31, also requests that banks and other financial institutions delay foreclosures if a mortgage holder’s inability to pay is related to lost wages caused by the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By Monday evening, 392 people were confirmed to have tested positive for COVID-19 in California, including more than 250 in the Bay Area. Newsom said Monday evening that one of the eight deaths in the state so far was a person experiencing homelessness in Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, said he plans to file a bill this week that would go further than the governor’s order and freeze evictions statewide for a period of up to one year or as long as the governor’s state of emergency is in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the ways we can minimize the effects of the virus is to reduce human contact,” Ting said. “Human contact is not reduced when people have to live on the street, oftentimes in very crowded, unsanitary conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ting added, “If people have a home, we want to keep them in their home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The calls to halt evictions come amid a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806988/sheltering-in-place-what-you-need-to-know\">shelter-in-place order\u003c/a> for six Bay Area counties, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara. Santa Cruz County is also ordering residents to shelter at home. The orders restrict most residents to their residences for anything but essential activities, such as visiting a grocery store, picking up prescriptions or caring for a loved one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on Monday, the San Francisco and Alameda County sheriff’s offices said they would stop enforcing all evictions as residents are told to shelter in place. The Alameda County Superior Court on Monday also said it would close all of its courthouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Ray Kelly, a spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, said it’s counterproductive to enforce evictions while also operating an emergency management center that is seeking vacant hotel rooms for people who are homeless and who need to self-isolate during the current outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in an unprecedented time,” he said. “Right now, we’re concerned about the most vulnerable people in our community, and a lot of those people are people who ultimately end up in the eviction process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"Coronavirus Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some landlords were concerned that without collecting rent, they wouldn’t be able to pay their mortgages. Yolanda Chavez, who described herself as a “mom and pop landlord,\" spoke at a San Jose City Council meeting on March 10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to make my payments,” Chavez said. “How am I going to make my payments, pay my mortgages, if the renter doesn’t pay theirs?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ting’s proposed legislation would include a provision to block home foreclosures while an eviction moratorium is in place, he said, so that property owners could work with their tenants and their banks on a payment plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor's order does not relieve tenants from eventually paying their rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A moratorium doesn’t mean that you don’t owe the money back,” Ting said. “The owner would have to pay the money back, and the same with the tenant.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

She was three days late on paying rent, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m fighting really hard to keep a roof over my head,” Yomila said in Spanish, declining to give her last name because of a domestic violence situation. Three of her children have disabilities, she said, making them especially vulnerable to the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Right now, it’s impossible to find another place to rent,” Yomila said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California tries to slow the spread of the new coronavirus, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday issued an \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/3.16.20-Executive-Order.pdf\">executive order\u003c/a> urging local governments to halt evictions if tenants are unable to pay rent due to the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some cities, including Oakland, San Francisco and San Jose, have already taken steps to do that. But rather than forcing local governments to pass moratoriums city-by-city and county-by-county, many activists are saying the governor should be doing much more by imposing a statewide freeze, regardless of whether the evictions are related to the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Newsom said Monday evening that one of the eight deaths in the state so far was a person experiencing homelessness in Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Assemblyman Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, said he plans to file a bill this week that would go further than the governor’s order and freeze evictions statewide for a period of up to one year or as long as the governor’s state of emergency is in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the ways we can minimize the effects of the virus is to reduce human contact,” Ting said. “Human contact is not reduced when people have to live on the street, oftentimes in very crowded, unsanitary conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ting added, “If people have a home, we want to keep them in their home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The calls to halt evictions come amid a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11806988/sheltering-in-place-what-you-need-to-know\">shelter-in-place order\u003c/a> for six Bay Area counties, including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara. Santa Cruz County is also ordering residents to shelter at home. The orders restrict most residents to their residences for anything but essential activities, such as visiting a grocery store, picking up prescriptions or caring for a loved one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And on Monday, the San Francisco and Alameda County sheriff’s offices said they would stop enforcing all evictions as residents are told to shelter in place. The Alameda County Superior Court on Monday also said it would close all of its courthouses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Ray Kelly, a spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, said it’s counterproductive to enforce evictions while also operating an emergency management center that is seeking vacant hotel rooms for people who are homeless and who need to self-isolate during the current outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in an unprecedented time,” he said. “Right now, we’re concerned about the most vulnerable people in our community, and a lot of those people are people who ultimately end up in the eviction process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
