That was one of the problems I had with the Covid renter relief that was put into effect. To be entitled to the relief the tenant did not have to make any showing that they were in any way impacted by Covid. And the landlord was offered no opportunity to show they were suffering severe harm. This was very unlike bankruptcy court where the court will consider the harm imposed on the creditor from continuation of the stay. During Covid it's entirely possible a tenant not paying rent was employed by Amazon for $150,000 a year, working at home, and in no way financially adversely affected by Covid. But their landlord would have been prohibited from any form of court relief.</span></p><p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">But as to this point, landlords do end up in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. One of my clients early on moved here from out of state after the real estate market in his area collapsed. He owned four or five rental houses, as I recall, and lost them all and filed Chapter 7. And I've seen others moving for relief from stay where they were retired and needing the rental money for their living expenses. The court would take that into account in rendering a decision.</span></p><pre><span style="color:black">Kary L.
