房客债务导致纽约租房市场接近崩溃

疫情导致纽约市租房市场遭遇危机、租户和房东正在承受着前所未有的压力。 三分之二的纽约客靠着租房生活，这使得纽约成为了全美最大的租房市场。但是由于失业率飙升，高昂的租金已经让纽约客无力承受。根据社区住房改善机构CHIP数据显示：自三月以来，四分之一的租户还没有支付租金。而此前新的法规禁止房东驱赶财务困难无力缴纳租金的租客，延期禁止驱赶令，或许直到疫苗出现；这让房东也承受了很大的压力。而且一些房东也有自己的债务需要支付、储蓄也所剩无几了，这一系列事情导致纽约市的上亿地产税支付延期。

Covid-19 is pushing New York City’s affordable housing crisis to a breaking point. Two-thirds of New Yorkers rent their homes, making it America’s biggest rental market, and it’s always had its own crazy kind of housing math. But with unemployment soaring and the typical rent about twice the national average, the numbers no longer add up. A quarter of the city’s apartment renters haven’t paid since March, according to the Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP), a group that represents mostly landlords of rent-stabilized buildings. Some landlords, with their own bills to pay, are running out of savings, so the city is bracing for hundreds of millions of dollars in delinquent property tax payments. A new state law prohibits evictions of tenants who face financial hardships while any social-distancing rules are in effect. That could be a while—maybe until there’s a vaccine. For now, tenants who want to stay put but can no longer afford their rent are trying to negotiate payment plans，which causing delays in hundreds of millions of dollars in property tax payments in New York City.  source
