So far I haven't touched it, and if Congress can pass legislation to help people with food and rent, we'll be all be OK.

Covid has been a reason to outright cancel rent collection and evictions, thanks to executive order on a federal level as of this past weekend.I do NOT want this thread to turn to politics (Save it for facebook lol), but, and I'll keep this macro, we are looking at a presidential candidate and party who are increasingly villainizing landlords, floating ideas of a 25% "flip tax", and a litany of other legislation and taxation that would seemingly destroy private sector residential real estate for many of us small business owners.I have been contemplating liquidating NY assets based upon this looming potential doom and gloom.

Hi, Does anyone know whether any legislation passed for COVID thus far can be applied to help rental property owners who are losing money due to lack of tenants?  

The current legislation is permissive to new short term rentals. 

You may have done this already, but check to see if the city (or county, if it's outside of town) has any breed-specific legislation on the books. 

The following is a brief summary of the law from a property management website - https://gpmsf.com/how-to-handle-roommate-changes/"Occupancy Numbers in San FranciscoIn 2015, the Board of Supervisors passed the Jane Kim legislation, which basically says landlords have to allow as many occupants in an apartment that health and safety standards will support.

You should be good to go as far as running a STR there (barring that there's not an HOA there the prohibits them).Idaho, in general, is very friendly to Airbnb, VRBO, and STRs - they have legislation in place that protects and promotes them.

Here is an excerpt from the VT.gov website:Notice: Effective with returns filed after Jan. 1, 2020 H.541 of the 2019 Legislative Session changed the definition of “land” subject to the Land Gains Tax.

All these problem have been solved due to the passage of legislation which modifies Florida Statutes 83.59 and 83.67, the sections that define when a manager may take possession of the property and how to deal with abandoned property.
