But as touching as this is, it should NOT be news.

It should be standard practice right now.

The REAL news is that it is NOT.

Kristen Bell Calls Waiving Rent For Tenants a No-Brainer | E! News

Particularly touching, however, is that she and her genuinely hilarious hubbie, AND their two children made a large donation to No Kid Hungry:

Kristen and Dax's kindness extends beyond their rental properties though. As the coronavirus began to spread, the pair donated $150,007.96 to the organization No Kid Hungry—$7.96 of which was contributed by their two daughters, Lincoln, 6, and Delta, 5.

A pretend princess raising a couple of real-life ones.

:thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:
 
PS: For those without daughters/granddaughters, and therefore not having seen the film 8,000 times, this is Princess Anna trying to convince her sister Elsa to give up her social distancing just long enough to build a snowman:

Good for them. Keeping good tenants is certainly worth a couple months of unpaid rent. However, I presume the properties they own are either paid off, or that the mortgage lenders have also stayed the next few months of payments, so that they are able to afford to do this.

I don't see why. This seems to be a fairly unique case of very wealthy (and famous) landlords but most won't be in the same comfortable position and be just as reliant on the income from their properties as the rest of us are. I'm lucky enough to be still working (from home) and therefore getting paid as normal so I would't want my landlord getting in to financial difficulties by waiving my rent indefinitely.

Landlords should obviously give careful consideration to tenants who have lost income (and there are reports of many who are, plus legal restrictions on eviction in the circumstances) but I think that needs to be very much a case-by-case.

Good points.

I think one of the reasons this isn't more widespread (beyond greed), is that there's a valid concern that those who do NOT need their rent/mortgage waived will take undue advantage.

Like with toilette paper hoarding, but with higher quality paper...
