Lots of people will be forced to move as they cannot afford to pay back rent but could pay current. So their landlords are not going to let them off the hook. They will have bad references. It is going to be hell as the system buckles and social workers will be placing single mothers in known hellholes and the sleazy owners will make them sign year leases. People will die by suicide. People will get sick with covid. They will lose their belongings or have them stolen. Children will be traumatized. Pets will be abandoned. It is going to be hell.
