Do we have numbers on how many tenants are making use of eviction moratoria?
I know a few folks that are apprehensive of the markets just cashed out, took a mortgage and bought a condo to rent. Especially if they bought a couple of condos I can't imagine they'd otherwise have the income or reserve to pay out-of-pocket when their tenants refuse to. I'm as liberal as they get but this kind of thing feels like over-stepping from the government; I agree tenants need to be helped, but not by moving the hardship upstream in the economy - maybe the government should pay their rent instead. Dunno, feels very strange.
