How are people handling MF property ownership during Covid19?

[Vasundhara Ranjani]

I am a property investor with over 100 units (8 - 22 units per building) and 2020 has been very difficult due to Covid-19 and the subsequent "rules" that only favor tenants - moratorium on evictions, lack of rents paid etc. etc.

I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation - how are other property investors handling this? None of the property taxes, expenses, repairs have a 'moratorium' for us as landlords but we have a bunch of tenants who are squatting in our buildings without paying rent/utilities while we can't evict them due to the ridiculous rules enforced by the government.

All our properties are under LLCs and we don't have 'payroll' per se and so we couldn't make use of the PPP for this situation. 

I'm very concerned about this year since Covid19 may still take several months, if not more, to abate and for us to be able to start getting rents.

Does anyone have any solution for this?

Is there a way for property owners/investors to band together and ask for help from the government? I would be interested in spearheading any effort in this regard.

Thanks.
