Did you read the article? The tenant was leasing the unit for the purpose of reselling the unit on AirBnB which was against the terms of the lease, and also used the pandemic to seek lower rent which the landlord sympathetically gave prior to them becoming aware that they were being deceived by the tenant. I would say that being dismissive of the tenant taking advantage of the landlord in this situation is also an interesting choice.
