An Illinois housing provider association wants more accountability from tenants who aren t paying rent.
The Neighborhood Building Owners Alliance is asking lawmakers to require that renters who do not apply for rental assistance start paying again or explain in court why they can’t pay.
Research by the NBOA found housing providers have lost over $1 billion in unpaid rent since the beginning of the pandemic.
“How would you like to live in a building where you are paying rent but the housing provider can’t fix the leaky roof or repair a broken door, simply because they don’t have the funds that they need to maintain their properties,” said Clint Sabin, spokesman for the NBOA.
