Texas renters, landlords in limbo after rent relief programs run out of money

“The rent relief paid us for the five months and told us we could be approved for more funding,” one landlord told us. The money never came for her or her renter.

It was a bonehead move to tell people not to work and don't pay rent in the first place. Did they not understand at some point this program will end?

Low and no income Americans are not getting rental, electricity and heat assistance. Who's really pocketing the help Americans are struggling.HRA give struggling Americans the help they entitle too and not partial benefits. I am still waiting for my August snap benefits it's past due.

Yeah when our renters gonna have to buy an insurance policy that they pay for that protects us landlords for our property it is worth a lot of money one months deposit doesn’t even cover the replacement other one is it didn’t come in and then when you’re home put nails in your walls destroy your house your friends move in what if they break their arm and get sick and can’t pay the phrase destroy your house try to get a judgment on these people you can’t collect nothing they don’t even make enough money to Everett and pay you back and then he cost lawyers for that what about an infection they’re making contacts at six to $8000 for a lawyer why do we wanna do this anymore they need to get an insurance policy that renters have to pay at least that way they wouldn’t have to pay the damage deposit and last months rent because it detected by Insurance policy I don’t think subsidize housing is going to help forever either because that come from us taxpayers too bad I guess
