I just read an article about how NY is proposing a CANCELATION of rent.I also listened to a couple of podcasts from some of my favorite and most respected business idols claiming that we are on the verge of a major DEPRESSION...I too have my own theories about the totally wrecked balance sheets, the terrifying overleveraging as in relation to income, and P/E ratios that are out of control of many of the world's leading corporations...not to mention why so many of the world's leading CEO's just stepped down in the last 6 months (google it) Given those facts, we may just be on the verge of a depression. 

We provide safe and affordable housing to citizens who can't afford to purchase homes themselves.Second only to to food, shelter is important as a basic need that no American should live without.This is why I am writing to you to ask for help in the implementation of emergency changes to the Federal Housing and Urban Renewal Section 8 program.As a landlord I propose the following:The qualification for Section 8 should be opened to all unemployed American receiving unemployment benefits.All Landlords who file a IRS Schedule E are eligible to receive benefits based on properties listed on their Schedule E for 2018 or for any 2019 tax return filed.Section 8 will waive the home inspection and Landlord requirements for the participants  in this emergency program and will not remove the traditional application process for those seeking to participate in the Section 8 program.   

So what do you propose?

Legally regarding rent here you would be required to waive late fees and defer rent  under the COVID legislation so I would do that.  

A permanent ban would require legislative action.

i feel as though there won't be a piece of legislation that would ever replace solid landlords and local property management firms 

We already have a 50 spot layout as well as work proposals and have actually had some grading done already.

I recommend getting estimates/proposals from several different sources just like you would a lender or contractor. 

I'm in Maryland, so reserve studies aren't mandated, but legislation was proposed this spring to make it so.

Any earth disturbance over 5,000 sq. ft requires an ERSA plan, which is performed by a civil engineer, and details the existing conditions of the site, and the proposed earth disturbance.
