Let’s clap it up for Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, shall we?
As the global pandemic continues to put millions of Americans in a financial pinch, the A-list couple has stepped up to provide major relief for their tenants living in Los Angeles. For those who were not aware, Kristen and Dax own a property management company together — and they’ve reportedly decided to waive April rent payments amid the coronavirus health crisis! Amazing!

According to TMZ, the pair own at least two residential buildings through their company, Pringus Property LLC, and a manager emailed all tenants this weekend to give them the good news. The outlet’s sources said the message expressed real sympathy and the manager, who is thought to be Dax’s sister Carly Hatter, promised to work with residents going forward as the world fights COVID-19.
The state of California is currently under a “safer at home” mandate which has left several residents who are not able to work from home without jobs or income right now. Many landlords have made the decision to either cancel payments or reduce them significantly for the next month. With April 1 just over a week away, the timing is pretty clutch!
We have to say, bravo on their part! Not to mention, this feels a lot more useful than a tone-deaf rendition of John Lennon‘s Imagine by a bunch of random celebrities who could certainly afford to help their fans out during this difficult time. Looking at you, Gal Gadot…

At this point, there’s still a bit of uncertainty in regards to how the US government plans to do their part and help citizens get over this huge financial hump. We’re being forced to face the reality there are mouths to feed, families to support, and businesses that are put on indefinite pause while social distancing and self-isolation measures are being enforced around the country.
President Donald Trump recently said he’s fully aware the coronavirus has put major stress on the economy and wants Americans to get back to work sooner rather than later! Even if it means risking prolonged exposure to COVID-19. Sound advice from his administration and health professionals aside, the Donald expressed his frustration with an angry tweet on Monday that reads:
“WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!”
The end of that 15-day period referenced is coming up, so, let’s cross our fingers for some safe and sound decisions from the White House very soon.
