How did people handle the COVID Eviction Moratorium?

[Michael Wachel]

Since I am just getting started I have a question about how you all handled the COVID eviction moratorium? It is kind of scary that the government can just allow people to stop paying rent and landlords have no recourse.

That's because you're in the wrong state. Or, you voted for the wrong peope ;-)

I'm in Arizona and we just ignored it. In fact, I did have to evict from one property during covid and the tenant tied to use the "covid defense" and the judge ignored it, evicted and awarded me a judgment. It was fast too, no delays.

I'm also in AZ. I experienced 3 evictions through my clients' properties. It was case-by-case with the judges. 1 of the 3 was allowed to stay and not pay. The other 2 got the boot from the judge.
