As a twice-widowed older woman, her rental income was what kept her afloat financially. She had always been a considerate landlord and felt close to her tenants even though her son had warned her: “don’t become “friends” with the renters.”
When the pandemic hit, one tenant continued to pay on time. The other stopped paying altogether. There were arguments on both sides, pros and cons, but this guy played the system and got away with it. He had income but never filed for rent relief, never sent in a dime and could not be evicted because of city and state laws during the pandemic. This left the twice-widowed older woman with half of her income and it went on for nearly 3 years…It tested her morally and financially.It pushed her to the brink.
The family wanted to push for legal action and the management team acquiesced. The unmovable tenant became quarrelsome.
What kind of system allows people to get away with ripping off honest citizens who are left struggling to get by?
The law has finally just changed. Hopefully the situation will improve, but the twice-widowed one may not have enough energy left to bounce back.
