But can’t the landlords ruin families’ / kids’ credit scores though. Or at least try.

the state as mandated an evacuation, this isn't the same thing idiot, the contract is void in time of war, state of emergency and natural disaster

There is no "evacuation" of apartments anywhere.

Are you OP? The state mandated your child leave his/her apartment? The lease contract is void in time of war and natural disaster? I doubt it.

+1 LOL. Why do people here make up such obvious lies and post as fact??

Whoever co-signed the lease will get their credit hurt. Maybe people won’t care.

The state mandated your non-minor child come home to live in your house and told her she was being evacuated from private landlord housing? Mandated that it was not an option to stay where she was?

Most apartments are owned by private landlords NOT the college. Just because the college shuts down doesn’t mean they do.

You signed the lease. Your daughter has a functional apartment that she could live in — she just chose not to. I’m sorry you’re not getting this but like...ma’am. Think with your head, please.


Maybe OP is a woman, but I missed where OP's gender was specified.

There’s a lease. Read it. Do you think every renter in the country is going to get a free ride because of this virus? Nah.

airbnb and vrbo are refunding all renters, in this case i would say the same should happen. The governor of the state will say you can break a lease. Landlords should have diversified.
