Most Americans think everyone should get rent assistance: Survey

PropertyNest, a real estate listing
site, conducted a national
survey to ask Americans who
they thought should receive rent during
the pandemic and found that most
people think everyone should receive
some kind of assistance.
With the federal government and
many local and state municipalities
announcing a moratorium on all
mortgage payments and foreclosure
proceedings during the coronavirus
pandemic, some people are asking
for further protections for renters.
PropertyNest asked Americans, “If
the federal government announces
suspension of rent payments due
to the coronavirus pandemic, who
do you think should receive this
benefit?”
Of the 2,038 adult respondents,
24.5 percent of participants thought
“Everyone” should receive rent, while
21.4 percent selected “only those who
have lost their jobs or hours.” The
third most popular answer was “No
one” with 15.8 percent responses.
More men thought no one should
be allowed to suspend rent payments
than women, with men making up
59.7 percent of respondents who
selected “No one.”
While younger people were more
likely to believe that everyone
should be able to stop paying rent,
25- to 34-year-olds generally made
up the largest age group that felt
that no one should stop paying rent,
according to the survey.
All age groups under the age of 54
selected “everyone” more frequently,
while respondents aged 55 and older
were more likely to believe that only
people who had lost wages or jobs
should receive this benefit.
Only 8.1 percent of respondents
thought the benefit should exclusively
go to people who lost their
jobs.
“The results of the PropertyNest
survey show that the U.S. government
and the local governments’
measures may not necessarily line
up with the needs of the average
citizen,” said Ruth Shin, founder
and CEO of PropertyNest. “According
to our survey, 84.2 percent of

all respondents, representing all
age groups and genders in all 50
states, favor some rent moratorium
for people who might be adversely
affected.”
The full survey is available on
the PropertyNest website.
