Eviction Ban is OUTRAGIOUS!

[Andrea Coulter]

I am a small landlord in upstate NY with 5 rentals. I was in the process of evicting a tenant in March when COVID happened. This tenant has not paid rent since December 2019! in three days it will be 13 months that I have not received rent!!  I am being told by the government, state & federal that there is nothing I can do. ********! This tenant is completely taking advantage of this. She is still working, multiple people in the house and yet they still won't pay a penny. I can't believe the government is doing this to us!! why not tell grocery stores they can't charge for food?! why not tell everyone that nobody has to pay for anything?! why are landlords being forced to pay this mortgage and still being told to pay property and school tax on time?! Why do I still need to keep utilities that I pay for on?!? I am outraged that this eviction ban was extended yet again. Are no other landlords in the same position I am?? What can we do???
