The counterpoint i always bring up is my college days """eviction""".

I was 1/2 a day """""late""""" with rent (as in, it was the 1st, and i didn't have it when the landlord came to see me in the morning, as i was on my way to school) came back to find the locks changed, was told i was evicted and even if i paid rent for the next month, all it would get me was my property back.

(reminder, they were demanding i rent for the next month, that hasn't happened yet, as condition to retrieve my property, while telling me it wouldn't result in me being allowed to stay in said unit i just paid the next months rent on.)

Had to use legal counsel help to put a stop to that bullshit.

As a landlord, some tenants commonly did not pay until after the 15th. I never charged them a late fee.

A few didn't pay me for the last 5 months, and things did not work out with the state.

I will never rent a property again. This pandemic has shown me exactly who is disposable. No governor will again decide that my tenants don't need to honor their payment agreements.

May landlords vanish; I am no longer among their number.
