Just because someone isn't going to lose their "job" (BI), what's to say it will end up in the landlord's hand? They can still default on payments. I wonder if signing over all/some of the BI to the landlord so it goes direct could be a good upgrade. It comes with the creditworthiness of the state (in california that is less than 100% mind you).

Thoughts on the risk of someone not paying their BI to the landlord?

Presumably eviction?

If you currently make a living wage and you don't pay your rent you still get evicted, so I don't think it would necessarily be any different.
