BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - As unemployment plummeted during the pandemic, both renters and landlords felt financial hardships.
“It’s hard, we haven’t gotten paid in 4 months now,” said Sandra Dunaway.
Dunaway owns rental properties in the Baton Rouge area. She says she and her husband have nearly exhausted their savings account as they try to keep up with the mortgage payments - while their tenants continue to live rent-free.
