preferred owner occupied vs. that had been rented out. Chances are probably both may not have been in the same condition, especially when it came to latent defects. A tenant has no obligation to disclose a prospective purchaser about those.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Yes, tenants that do not honor contracts get attorneys at public expense; housing providers, even when they can find counsel, must pay in dollars and time to recover what they provided at a small profit margin. There is no reason to continue to take the
risk.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p> We face not only a "legal desert", but also a "housing desert". Yet policy is set under the belief that tenants are abused just by agreeing to be sheltered by housing providers, and that housing providers must be punished. This mindset of division and
victimization is destroying more than the small provider housing market.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">One of the things I learned from practicing bankruptcy is the party that is owed money is not necessarily more financially secure than the party that owes the money. 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><o:p></o:p></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><o:p></o:p></p>
