Murchison Consulting will be at the first in-person (since March 2019 due to Covid), council meeting this Tuesday night to represent SPOA and work towards a mutually agreed upon solution. Many Landlords have not collected rent in over a year, although they still have to pay their mortgages, property taxes, insurance, and costs associated with managing their properties.
Mike's position on deferred rent owed is, “If the federal government and the state really wanted to give 100% of rent to the landlords, they’d get rid of the strings and have the landlords apply for the relief,” Murchison said.
SPOA has taken the position of opposing any water or sewer rate increases in Long Beach, CA due to the impact on rental housing providers who are already suffering from financial impacts due to deferred rent owed.
