Reporter 19yearold thought shed be moving into this Apartment BuildingNear San Jose State University next week. R arnow online and emic, all of she no longer feels safe sharing a room so shes novembered back in with her mom in long beach but still on the hook to pay rent in san jose. I will be paying, i have no other choice. Reporter also paying rent at home and her mom lost work because of covid19. So she is picking up extra shifts at target to help her family stay afloat. The financial strain is getting to her. Am i going to have to be a parttime now . You know, make up for the money that im going to have to pay . Reporter 19yearold gianna is in a similar situation. I miss my friends and i miss the whole social aspect and just like going to like football games. Reporter shes supposed to be heading back to Sacramento State right now. Instead, shes at home in pacifica. And her mom is footing the bill it froint of view ir. Also. I dont think its fair that there isnt any type of leniency. Reporter carol has been out of work since april. She works at Alaska Airlines but she was hoping she wouldnt have to pay for housing that gianna wont use. Unfortunately theres not too many options right now. Until the state or a federal government takes action to protect renters or their parents in these situations. Reporter jackie is a tenants rights attorney in San Francisco. Millions of students across the United States facing this exact same situation right now. Reporter her legal advice . Try to avoid seeking legal advice. And offer to pay a fee to get out of your lease if at all possible. She says thats likely whats best for both parties. Especially if you really dont have the money to pay for the entire year. Maybe incentivized to come to a deal up front to take a lesser amount of money instead of going through expensive and time intensive process of suing a student for unpaid rent. Reporter students should check the lease for a force force majeure or act of god clause. If you dont have that clause, you can offer to pay a fee. If that doesnt work, then you can give your landlord a 30 day notice to vacate. Which legally incentivizes them to try to replace you. But until you find a subletter, you are still on the hook to pay rent. So i did pay the first months rent because you know, again, i dont want bad credit. And i didnt really have a choice. Reporter she is worried she might have to dip into the savings she planned to put to a masters degree or worse drop out altogether in order to pay for an apartment shell never use. I have to sacrifice my education for an apartment. Students are starting to organize around this issue.
