I just can't imagine an SF landlord passively resigning themselves to not getting paid rent, apocalypse or not.

  Why not? I was just reading about Arizona evictions (for, umm, a friend) and it seems the courts are just not going to serve any notices for the foreseeable future so they can't really do anything about it no matter how they feel. Things will get sorted out, landlords will get a bailout, everyone will be happy.

    I'm not saying the courts and police will be evicting people if ordered not to, I'm saying I doubt the landlords will be happy about their income suddenly getting slashed. And furthermore, believe that they will still threaten evictions with their trademark red, bolded nastygrams and loanshark-level harassment, even if it doesn't have any legal teeth. Or are you earnestly suggesting that slashing someone's income will not result in them vocally trying to recover that income? We're under pandemic, not in a bizzaro universe. Landlords are gunna landlord.

      > Or are you earnestly suggesting that slashing someone's income will not result in them vocally trying to recover that income? Pretty much, yeah. The states are declaring state of emergency, calling up the National Guard and other various things so any landlord who starts in with the heavy-handed tactics is going to end up on the news --> https://kfor.com/health/coronavirus/norman-renter-says-he-is-being-evicted-after-not-being-able-to-pay-rent-due-to-covid-19/ https://kfor.com/health/coronavirus/norman-renter-says-he-is...

        That kind of proves my point. Even with the bad press, landlords are gunna landlord.
