Also, you may potential be leasing to a tenant that is not only comfortable with navigating through the eviction process but also skilled at how to prolong the eviction through actions such calling code enforcement for mold, claiming there is vital maintenance not corrected by landlord......If you are in even a mildly good rental area I would take a chance on younger folks with no rental history before I gambled with someone that has proved they are potential to not pay.

Any thing less is a cash loss and the landlord that prolongs his loss trying to mitigate his loss by some cheaper way loses more money and has only got himself to blame.

If there is a prolonged halt to evictions then there should be a process to verify those tenants that need it. 

In the big picture, housing should be a net beneficiary in this, potentially less intense and less prolonged, economic downturn.

For example, having to send someone out I use can delay the service time request and prolong things and I worry about this with things like plumbing and HVAC unit

They just have you file a report for burglary.As the police arrived, all 8 squad cars plus the K9 unit, and after a prolonged Police wait on the front porch, back porch and windows (waiting for the offending party to give himself up, with no responses) the place was searched and declared empty.Here’s how it went down apparently: A fake Lease agreement for the period of Feb 6 2019 to Feb 5 2019, “signed” by “William Gilliuam” to “John Cantu” for $2500 deposit and $1200 a month was on the counter.

The scaries part, I think, will be the politcal hostage taking that will prolong the agony.

On the other hand, academia can function as a prolonged adolescence for many people, and I know many very well educated people who struggle financially (read some of Robert Kiyosaki's books for a much more in depth discussion of this phenomenon).TL;DR if you want to go to school for its own sake and you can do it without putting yourself into massive debt, do it.

What that means for folks who are shrewd is a prolonged state of uncertainty (volatile stock markets, ways to protect cash, etc)Residential Rental markets will possible see some issues if tenants lose their jobs as companies are laying off and unemployment is slammed with new applications.Travel, tourism, and hospitality will likely be hit the hardest for this uncertainty.

Nothing major, but he failed to set a closing date, thinking he could prolong it and deal with it when he was back from a vacation.
