You can’t sell if no one is buying and if it’s anything like some stories I’ve heard, some people are doing interest only loans on houses

If you sell it for less than your mortgage, you’re still on the hook for that loan, too.

The situation is complicated and ‘just sell it’ comes with other problems.

Being bankrupted by a landlord also comes with other problems.

The biggest expense renters typically have is ..... rent. And for many businesses it’s a major expense too.

Governments are desperately coming up with financial support packages for what? To give to landlords?
