There is a reason Tenants are a protected class.

Apparently it was a company that sent out the letter according to this story: The Morning Call: Nat Hyman apologizes for company letter threatening to evict tenants who don’t pay rent during coronavirus pandemic

And tenants aren’t actually a protected class. They absolutely still should be treated fairly though.

    Can anyone comment, just for my own morbid curiosity, if they think cutting off cable access would be considered a self help eviction? Obviously, its not an essential item like heat, water, etc. But it has all the markings of a self help eviction.
