One Landlord's Nightmare

A lot of the narrative around the eviction moratorium centers on the tenets.   It is not surprising that the mass media would concentrate on the side of the story that more people could relate to, there are many more renters than landlords.  But that does not make the real and savage impact of the moratorium on landlords, both big and small, any less impactful.  

I came across this landlords story online, I have no connection to Ms. Davis.   I think it is worth publicizing her real struggles as a result of the moratorium.  Beyond that it is a good example of learning while you are a landlord.   Below is the playlist for her journey.   I hope everyone here can sympathize with her.  She is a better person than me, I would have never been able to stay as positive and upbeat as she has.   I won't spoil the ending, but it is not a happy one.  You can watch from the beginning or skip to the end. 

As I said, I have no connection to Ms. Davis, but as a fellow landlord and engineer I wish her well and thought spreading her story would be the least I could do for her.  One last comment, everyone on this forum has the right to speak their mind, but I have no intention of causing her more pain by people criticizing her.  She was brave to share the unfiltered truth of her journey, I would suggest that you keep that in mind as you comment.
