Financially strapped renters in SD seek help avoiding eviction amid pandemic

2. I always a little skeptical of these numbers ...

I have no doubt that a lot of renters are behind, but in order for it to make sense to evict a tenant - you need to have some hope of finding a replacement tenant.

I have a few relatives here in S. Fla that own rental properties and they are all working with the good tenants to keep them in the property. One relative is offering rent reduction or forgiveness to tenants willing to do some work and make improvements to their unit.

It is a crisis that needs to be addressed but government imposed rent moratoriums are not fair to landlords who expenses (maint, taxes, insurance) are not being placed on hold.
