I think a lot of landlords see renting as easy money and then when they do have an issue like this they are looking for anyone to blame when they really never did their due diligence. There was relief for landlords during the pandemic for landlords as well, especially those that still had a mortgage on properties.
- inglor_cz 5y agoIf you enact laws that make it impossible or very hard to punish defectors from business contracts, don't be surprised that the particular market sector withers and loses its vibrancy. Geniune poverty should be taken care of by the welfare system, not by random landlords who may be in a precarious situation themselves. Not everyone who owns an extra property is rich and it does not make sense to treat a small local businessperson exactly the same as Amazon.
- encryptluks2 5y agoLandlords and businesses owners got their own form of welfare, which was significantly more than those that were without a job. Landlords need to know landlord/tenant laws but many simply want to be able to do whatever they want then act surprised when they find out what they did violated some state law. I have little sympathy for landlords who got relief then want to complain. Reminds me of businesses that got millions in PPP loans, but then put up signs saying... sorry we have a crappy business, it was due to welfare.
