Sick landlords soliciting sex in lieu of rent as they target vulnerable tenants who can't pay amid coronavirus crisis
SICK landlords are soliciting sex in lieu of rent as they have been targeting vulnerable tenants who can't pay during the coronavirus crisis.
They have seen more cases of landlords sexually harassing their tenants over the course of two weeks than the past two years, Khara told"The coronavirus creates the perfect conditions for landlords who want to do this because not only are people being instructed to stay home, but the virus has added to the economic stress with people losing their jobs, especially in Hawaii, which is driven by tourism.
More and more people are unable to pay rent as the US now has 22 million people unemployed and nearly 680,000 people in the US have been infected with COVID-19. "We've already seen that the pandemic is exacerbating a lot of systemic issues and sexual harassment targeted at tenants by landlords is likely to be one of these issues."
