WSJ Your Money Briefing · Rents Are Up More Than 10% in the Past Year · 3 Aug 2021 podcast

DeKalb County, which is a part of greater Atlanta and Georgia, did a 60-day extension of the moratorium. matched

But for the most part, those are the exception. matched

Most local governments do not have eviction protections that are equivalent to what the CDC had been providing. matched

Yeah, if the moratorium is extended in the next few days, that would put most of the tenants who are behind on rent and who had been protected by the CDC moratorium, that would put most of them back in the situation they were before the expiration date. matched

It's possible that, you know, with a week or two weeks in between, there are people that would fall between the cracks and you would see momentarily a big increase in evictions before, you know, an extension, however late, would kind of put us back in the same situation we were in up until the end of July. matched

Thank you. matched

WSJ Your Money Briefing · Could a Credit Card Help Renters Work Toward Buying a House? · 23 Jun 2021 podcast

One of the aims here is that younger people who don't have credit or who have bad credit can work on building it through having something to show for those large rent payments that they make consistently. voice-verified

Thanks for having me. voice-verified

This card would let you pay your rent, but not have to pay a big fee. voice-verified

Right now, usually there's a transaction fee associated with paying with a credit card. voice-verified

And landlords tend to kick that back to the tenants. voice-verified

And that could be about 3% of your rent payment. voice-verified

And that really adds up over the course of a year. voice-verified

So rent is one of the largest expenses that many people have. voice-verified

And when you're paying with the check, that's a lost opportunity, some people think, for these payments to help you build your credit score, like other charges or purchases you would put on a card. voice-verified

So one of the aims here is that younger people who don't have credit or who have bad credit voice-verified

can work on building it through having something to show for those large rent payments that they make consistently. voice-verified

right so what they're what they're purporting to do is anyone can pay rent with this card so if your landlord doesn't accept credit card payments they will mail a check to your landlord and then put the payment on your card account and they say again that they'll do this with no charges on any of the rent payments what they're betting is that people will use this card for other purchases and the fees on those purchases voice-verified

and the APR on any balance they may have, that's going to be the way that they make money off of this. voice-verified

I think that's the bet. voice-verified
