While Massachusetts Democrat Rep. Ayanna Pressley has called for allowing people to stop paying their rent amid the COVID-19 lockdowns, her recently filed financial disclosure forms indicate she made between $5,000 and $15,000 in rental income on a property in Boston in her husband’s name.
Pressley, a far-left House member referred to as a member of the “Squad,” put forth a measure in March to slash mortgage payments and rent across the country. Should the bill have passed, the federal government would have been mandated to reimburse landlords for funds not collected during the coronavirus.
“Keeping families housed is a matter of public health,” the Democrat said in December 2020, likewise signaling her approval of the progressive-inclined notion. “We must cancel rent, extend eviction and foreclosure moratoriums, provide rental assistance, and offer legal representation for those at risk of eviction.” --->READ MORE HERE

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) collected thousands of dollars as a landlord while co-sponsoring bills that would cancel rent payments.
Tlaib's 2020 financial disclosure report filed Friday reveals that the progressive lawmaker took in between $15,001 and $50,000 from a property in Detroit. Tlaib received the same income range on the rental property in 2019, according to financial records.
Fox News reported the Michigan Democrat's property is estimated to be worth between $100,001 and $250,000, according to the disclosure.
In December, Tlaib wrote on Twitter how we need to protect Americans from "landlords and bill collectors."
"Always tons of agreement for tools of war and destroying families abroad, but never this much enthusiasm for protecting American families at home from landlords and bill collectors in the midst of a pandemic," she tweeted. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories and resources:
