Is there any government program to help me, I rented an apartment I couldn’t afford, and now I’m being evicted

April 1, 2010

apartment sales

The landlord had slick a slick sales pitch, offered lower monthy payments for the year if I signed the lease, then showed me the complimentary gym, tennis courts, jacuzzi, swimming pool, and electronic entry to the gated and patrolled community. Shouldn’t there be additional regulation to protect me, and a new layer of government bureaucracy overseeing the practices of apartment complexes?

Ask the people at Bear Stearns.

Ask your corporate cronies. I’m sure they can bail you out but only if you are worth it.

Definitely if you’re a minority.

Possibly if you’re just a poor white victim of the public school system (i.e. can’t add or subtract).

To bad you don’t own a farm or ranch, there’s about 89 billion dollars worth of subsidies for them.

I doubt it. The only thing I know of where the govt gets involved with apartments is things like rent control (e.g., “Socialist Republic of Santa Monica” - insider’s joke I heard about) or if renters are making apartments unlivable.

I hope you are kidding on this
