As Kary stated, if this was tied to actual COVID inability to pay I would have less problem with the moratorium. I have 135 doors and ALL of my total non payers are on an alphbet soup of government benefits that have not changed during covid. They choose
not to pay rent because they don't have to. The Amazon packages keep arriving and cable TV with all the extras but no rent. This is Government enabled theft. <br>

<p>You're generalizing. The moratorium protects an entire class regardless of their need, at the expense of another class, regardless of their need. If it were based on economics I'd have little problem with it, but it's not. Beyond that though, I'm worried
about the long term adverse effects on those who actually need the protection. The moratorium may have given them a false sense of security and lead them to make bad decisions. Back when I practiced law I did primarily debtor bankruptcy and the moratorium
is likely causing people to make decisions that no competent financial planner would ever advise them to make.<br>
</p>
<p>Also, you can't even assume someone who rents cannot afford to own. They may just not wish to own for many different reasons.<br>

As a group they are either poor or old or both. They are people who can’t afford homes due to lack of wealth.</span></p>
